Once upon a time
I was a free river!
Starting from a hill,
Ending in an ocean!
Like a mother to her kids,
I nurtured people around!
I helped them to eat,
I gave them water to drink!
They wanted more from me,
They tied me inside a wall!
I did not complaint,
I stood silent and still!
Two lands fought for me,
Both say they own me!
I could see cracks on my walls,
They never cared that too!
I’m scared of my power,
People can’t bear my force!
I’ve to sweep lakhs of lives,
I’ll wash of many lands!
As a mom, I can’t kill you,
I hate to harm my children!
Make a new wall around me,
Else give my old life back!
dramatic!! :)
ReplyDeleteIn reality it is never dramatic...
ReplyDeletevery nicely written, and so pertinent to the present agitation. if only people would see it from the point of view of nature, and stop trying to harness it without any regard to the consequences.
ReplyDeleteThanks Subhorup Dasgupta

I could not see cracks on my walls,
They never accept supreme court's judgement!
I’m scared of new home,
One group don't want me to give water to other group!
I am giving just 15 TMC t Tamilnadu ,
But Keralites in Tamilnadu is utilizing 156 TMC a year in tamilnadu !
As a mom, I can’t kill you,
