Touching Edifices
Many smiles render
In their minds,
As they dream to visit
The worded
Inundated edifices,
Trying to touch
The firmament,
Longing for the clouds
To be kissed,
He made many to dream
Resigning from their homes,
Never had they thought
They were leaving the homes
To live in houses,
Insane dreams
With the death of conscience,
Galloping the land
Naked in front of nature,
Turning the homes
Into a defunct of houses.
Mendicant
Dilapidated traces
Exist in the corners,
Staying in those
Stained forms,
Survival in the niche
Wrenched from the past,
From dust to dawn
Crawling as a mendicant,
Life has withered
Shattered are the dreams,
The city still smiles
Embracing new changes,
Forgetting the antiques
Leaving them desolated,
Many still live a life
Bargaining from others,
Many haunt others
To live in ecstasy,
We live a living
Unknown to many,
Growing skyscrapers adore the city
Leaving the past in gutters.
