In The Name Of Development

Rating: 5.0


In the name of development

60 lives will be killed
And a few voices rose
And gradually fades away
In gray coloured words of everyday

I too,
Being shocked wrote a few lines
A few read it and forgot

A few lovers of theirs
Cried and protested
Slogans were raised faintly
Long sighs were heard
And the word 'compulsion'
Showing its teeth started to laugh

Just then
Beside the road from a little window
The chorus of a nursery school children is heard
'Trees are our best friend'
Their voices are being echoed
Spread beyond all barriers

Opening my eyes I see
The trees are crying and shedding their leaves
Not to love and to be loved

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Trees are being hacked and chopped for Development... But is it not pulling behind... Our next generation must blame us for providing them a world that will be full of artificiality andunsuitable for living...
