The city of my dreams, the city of my nightmares

It's been a cherished decade,
Since I made it my home.
But yet I ask myself,
Why this wretched place alone?

What elation do I get,
Seeing this place's plight.
Where misery is one's only friend ,
And mere existence a fight.

Nature has rung,
the city's death knell
but in this city of mine,
Ignorance is quite swell.

But there's one glimmer,
In this darkness that i see,
Millions still grieve for my city,
The millions like me.


(As you'll know a great deluge of biblical proportions hit our already troubled city of Bombay,but still we gotta live on,hoping to forget the tragic past and yearning for a better future.But one thing that can never be hit is the spirit and the character of this city,the will to walk on and never give up.Lets give the city something in return for all that it has given to us.)
