" Walking In The City Which Once Was Green "

Walking in the city

Which once was green?

The trees were plenty

And concrete was scarce

The time though changed

It’s the other way round

The roads were narrow

The canals flowed swiftly

The trees stood tall

The air was pure

And the smell was pleasant

The time though changed

Its’ the other way round

The traffic was growing

Government had a solution

Trees which made the city green

Were marked with red

In the name of development

The tenders were passed

And the axe was swayed

Though the trees are gone

But the chunks have remained

Silently remorseful of the deed so done

The roads have widened, the jams are frequent

The signals are working, but the cops are careless.

Government is meek, thinking of a solution

But there isn't any solution

Because the trees are gone

Walking in the city

Which once was green?

The concrete is plenty

And the trees are scarce

The time have changed

Who will TURN it the other way round?
