A Clean City Dream! Poem by Ramesh T A

Man made pollution and garbage has created dirty city!
A clean city is a dream now due to accumulation of dirt
Never seems to be cleared by ever increasing congestion
Strangulating all to gasping level of breathing everyday!

Overflowing drainage vents giving smell of toilet eternal
Mixing with carbon smoke of vehicles spread atmosphere
Impossible to breathe clean air ever in the midst of hell
By technological developments risking everyone’s health!

Dirty cities are the growth of modern world of civilisation
Making linen dirty a common feature everywhere to bear
Along with the riches that closes eyes for such matters
As time for enjoyment has become shorter in the fast life!

Clean city has become a dream of intellectuals and critics
Making them long for the day of healthy city life sometime
In the future world of efficient activities in all spheres of life
That time only has to bring about before the world wakes up!
