Concrete Jungle-City without Soul
I would like to start my post by apologising from all urban folks or I may say denizens of the city who have embraced city life and are addicted to it.
For me I am completely country folk ...really ...it's in my blood as my 👴grandfather was a farmer.👳♂️Alas!My mind,body and soul are trapped in city ....I want to break free.My heart carries the same desire which is displayed by WB Yeats in his poem "The lake Isle Of Innisfree" .Quoting a few lines from his Poem :
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
Forsooth,I would like to admit that every word written has come out of my heart and my longingness to be one with Creation.Modernity has taken away the essence of life.
Concrete Jungle-City without Soul
Where the land is limited and freedom too,
There the sky is blur ,it's a woe.
Where rivers are turned into the drains,
There factories do not yield grains.
Where birds fly but do not sing,
There the life's without any music for human being.
Where trees are green but they do not sway,
There the childhood is lost and kids go stray.
Where there are malls but no play field,
There every human activity is sealed.
Where people are without any soul,
There mobiles and internet have taken control.
Where freedom is confined and mind's blocked,
There's value for money,relations dropped.
I want to move out of such life,
To a place where I can sit calm and revive.
I want to be one with trees,
To a place where my mind will ease.
I desire to fly like a kite,
To a place where birds singing can give delight.
I wish I have blue sky above my head,
Where I will not run after earning bread.
That place seems to be far away right now,
To be there soon I have taken a vow.
O !Dear Nature hold me in your arms.
I want to enjoy all rustic charms.
P.S-My heart's elated with the idea of seeing myself amidst Dame Nature.
