Concrete jungle

O nature thou art great,

I appreciate,

They say you have powers,

To captivate.

I long for thee,

I search for thee,

But bricks and concrete,

Is all that I see?

I peddle for thee,

For miles in vain,

Just city and its sprawl,

Is all that I can see?

I peddle for thee,

I peddle all the more,

And inhale pollution ,

That city has in store.

Yet I cannot know,

Yet I cannot understand,

Where are the trees,

That in past did stand.

Would I not find a tree?

For I long to see,

In this land of concrete,

Where is she?

Note:- This poem talks about reduction of number of trees in the city ie Delhi. I wrote this poem during my college days.
