Urban Dust

Every morning I wake up early
But fail to witness a beautiful dawn
I can see some pigeons flyin' around
But where have the sparrows gone

I sit in my car and drive around
And feel the city needs a correction
Journey is on, but the end's nowhere
As I fail to find the right direction

I see a million faces around
Grumpy, joyous and even masked
Every one seems busy answering
The question that was never asked

I wish they ban plastic
The bag is not all I mean
All of us are deeply intrigued
But none of us is really keen

Innocence is a mirage they say
But the chase at times is a must
Dirty shoes and blackened hearts
Are all makings of the Urban Dust.

  2. "I wish they ban plastic

    I too find Plasticity in characters as the worst aspect! But unlike the common perception, I'm not sure that this is purely an urban phenomenon...
    "And feel the city needs a correction" "none of us is really keen" that is so true and in the end we all get such a helpless feeling!
    Very nice work indeed!!
