Concrete Jungle
The poem in a nutshell
It
was a sunny day. In course of time, the sun was about to go down in the crimson
western horizon. The speaker persona in the poem climbed up the roof of a
concrete apartment. At a distance within view, he / she beheld the city at a
glance. It was a kind of short cityscape. However, it appeared just like a
concrete jungle suffused with murky multiplexes only. We do not find any touch
of green in the entire city roughly. All we can view is nothing but a host of
concrete apartments functioning like the trees in a dense forest. Hence, this
poem has been named 'Concrete Jungle'. However, there is still a silver lining
in the entire murky scenario. The returning crows, the purple streaks in the
western horizon give a sort of oxygen to the citizens. The little children have
no playground for sporting. All they can do is play on the roofs.
The poem -- "Concrete Jungle"
A concrete jungle indeed!On the rooftops of
The murky multiplexes,
Children are sporting around.
People are moving with
Masks on their mouths.
Though sometimes a gusty
Wind blows, the concrete
Jungle turns my heart pale.
The crows return to their nests
In flights. A sky suffused with
Purple streaks soothes my heart.
Thank God, there's still some
Sort of life even in the midst
Of this concrete jungle.
