This City

This city,
On the facade,
With its sparkling colour coat,
Concrete jungle and congested streets,
In grandeur it stood,
Without hints of loneliness…

This city,
Holding the dreams of many,
While shattering the hearts of many,
The city of fulfilled fantasy,
Is in favour of young and ambitious hearts…

This city,
Deep inside its very core,
Hides a forbidden secret,
Only those staying for long,
Will know the truth…

This city,
With its beautiful face but blackened heart,
Rape,homicide,abuse and social problems,
Lurked in every corner,
Citizens living in constant fear….

This city,
People are cold as frost,
In unattachment they live,
Lack of warmth and care,
Backstabbing, treachery,betrayal ,cheating are norms…

This city,
Stressful days,
Happening life,
Peace and solitude,
Can only be sought within the four confining walls…

This city,
In its contradictions,
With its prettiness and ugliness,
So alluring and enticing,
Is the place where we reside...
