Garden In Town Poem by Tirupathi Chandrupatla
Garden In Town
There was a small
Open space in town
Administration proposed
To build a shopping mall.
They said it will
Improve commerce
May bring some income
And may cut some taxes.
Some agreed to this
And some disagreed
Others proposed that
A garden be developed.
No unanimous decision
Could be reached
The proposals went
To a referendum.
People voted and
The result was close
They wanted the garden
To stroll and relax.
Wisdom of citizens
Gave gift of a garden
That provided the town
A means for good health.
Let all open spaces
Be turned into parks
Let fresh air blow and
Space be green to the eye.
Based on Shahzia Batool's comment I added the last stanza. Many thanks for the comments.
Garden in town! ! ! though you have written in past narration but i feel it as you have shared your desire of making more gardens in every town...as we are away from nature, and we need to refresh our bond with nature! a good poem!
There are enough shops, but not enough gardens, so this was a very good choice. Good one Tirupathi.
