A Garland In The Hands Of Monkey! Poem by Ramesh T A

Vowing to beautify they only make ugly
The erstwhile cosmopolitan French town
Noted for humanism and civilisation long!

Sans artistic mind one cannot create beauty
Out of chaos but can create only chaos sure!
This is enacted pretty well by the rulers here!

Statues of great national leaders are kept in open;
But lesser leaders are enclosed in big monuments
Making farce of spending public funds mindlessly!

Artistic temple pillars of ancient debris is installed
Around parks and leader's statue as decoration
Unknowing their value to be treasured as heritage!

Caught in the hands of monkey what will happen
To the garland has happened to town's beauty!
