Just a walk around the new dreamland...

I see trains stopping and people running around,
I see those people crushing under their feet, dreams unfound
I see some smiles but I fail to relate with them
And I see beyond some frowns like I share my fate with them

I see concrete skies and a neon star
I see those neon constellations informing where our next destinations are
I see artificial humans and machines so alive
I see those broken mechanical hopes as the cranes jive

I see thoughts flying around
I see crowded street but hear no sound
I see boys and girls walking hand in hands,
I see them walking unconsciously towards dead ends

I see them wiping their tears and saying goodbye,
As I see a paper plane in background, soaring the sky
I see pillars of truth made with bricks of lie
I see them enjoying their life, as their neighbours die

I see a kid crying in a corner,
while searching for his mother
I see a sister crying her heart out
While hugging her brother

And,
I see a man in the mirror,
Staring at me with a smile,
He is wondering as always,
where was he all this while

I see it all and I see some more,
As I stare at this city, wondering what else is in the store...

  4. A day in the Delhi Metro! :) Moments well analysed, captured and made into a poem. Who would have thought travelling in the Delhi Metro, overloaded with sweaty human beings can bring out such a nice piece of writing.

    Keep up!
