From Village to city

 

Shifting from a village to city, the modern man has paid huge cost

Though he has lots of amenities, he finds himself totally lost

 

Having luxuries all around, he still searches for happiness

Sacrificing all that was available, he always lands into unhappiness

 

Selling off huge acres of land, he squeezes into a few square feet

Leaving the joint family system, the nucleus family makes him feel complete

 

Lying on the rope cot, he wove many a dreams of being successful

The soft mattress today drove away his sleep, which he always had felt peaceful

 

The purity in the air, the taste of the food, the selfless love he got are gone

He now consumes toxic air, and junk food, the people around lazy and withdrawn

 

Bottles of sugary drinks replaced the fun of Ice water, and extinct became the sweet candy

Missing are those friends and family who at difficult times were always handy

 

The cowdung smeared floors got replaced by sparkling and shining tiles

The dressing sense changed from full clothing to torn pants called as modern styles

 

Villagers with poor language and improper pronunciation expressed perfect emotions

The city man learning advanced communication still retains lots of tensions

 

The staring of the starry sky, laying bare chest, without even basics necessities

The modern man misses this fun of living even in the company of luxuries and facilities

 

Moving from village to a city, has a man taken the right decision?

Perhaps No, as moving back to village is every city man’s latest ambition
