BENGALURU - GARDEN CONCRETE GARBAGE CITY
Happen to watch this video https://youtu.be/lV7s_aks_4A?si=kvolxMhY-n0dbJtU on Bengaluru City's destruction in the name of development. Thoughts overwhelmed and poured out as a rhyme.
Ruins of Bengaluru
Has begun
Reins of Corrupt
Corporators
Rains of concrete
Pouring in
Rooted to private
Coffers
Run baby Run
Cities den
Rurals have some
Water & Air
With less money
But more honey
From wilderness
Of trees
Bengaluru, you may
Need a PUTIN
to rain you like Ukraine
At least Chennai has a
Russian Dictator in name
& sons are holding reins
None can stall in
till it ruins
Village could ease
Vacant lands are
For sale
WILL I AM SUN IT A(LL) ??
Whose triumph it is?
Who is going to Trump at it ?
I ran away from Tariff
War with Donald
" Sab ka saath
Sab ka vanvaas "
Murmured Draupadi,
Pandavas lost Indra
Prastha Now Delhi
Development is game
Of Dice from days
Of Maha Bharat
Duryodhana
Come in Hundreds
To rule
Born to vision less father
Born to vision closed
Mother
With a ₹2000 note
Per Month
As Mahila Sam(e)man
Kalakkattu Kavirayar

sakritease

P.S. :
1. Sab ka vanvaas actually means forest living. All our ancient saints acquired wisdom by living in forest. Even ancient scriptures like Vedas makes" forest living" as "Aranyakam" as mandatory for human evolution as it encompasses co-existence with bio diversity. Pain in this poem is to reflect the loss of greenery in the name of development as Cities. It is the cities which are barbaric against social equanimity in sharing natural resources. Even the wars couldn't do long term damage as much as the in the name of development what we are doing.
2. Mahila samman - is a Hindi term as a complimentary free bonus to women offered in many states in India Today in the name of welfare measure. "Samman" denotes offering with dignity. Actually in African way of natural forest living , all encompassing term "Ubuntu" - "I am what we are " evolved. Collective living without any gender bias is the need of the hour. But in India at this point of time, political parties in India are offering this monthly compensation to lure women voters to vote their party to power. In this process, women are not able to hold a long term vision for the nation. So every Woman , who take this money is a , Kandhari, the blind folded queen of Maha Bharata.
3. "Kalakkaattu" in Tamil means wild forest grown without any regimental agriculture practices. Nothing & No one is considered as a weed in this wild forest. Every beings existence is taken care of by that Mother Nature & That is where " poetry" begins "Kavi-rayar"
4. Murmured Draupadi - The best thing happened in India after a very long time, a woman of tribal origins becoming the Ceremonial head of the state. But Nature always has a plan behind every thing that happens. It is not just coincindence - She is also named after Mother Draupadi. India's fortunes will change when it is ruled from atop the hill. The Parvati, is that daughter of that Hill, which is Parvata. As a poet kalidasa in his "Mega sandesha" - described clouds as the messenger, its message is abundant flow of river originating from a Hill. Thats the symbol of prosperity - that can only bring lasting peace. " sab ka saath Sab ka vanvass "when that will be uttered by Her excellency shall be right term to make this whole country a beautiful forest. So losing a beautiful Garden city, Bengaluru, is really painful, which made the author right this Rhyme.
