Bird and Building

        Bird   and  building.                   
On   ear  and  ear two  noises   too  near  to
End    and  enjoy :For  one is the  Crow calling
At the  other of its clan, for a bird is caught in the
 Mess of   Wires, on top of the electric lamp post.

 The  next is the  building ,construction site,
The breaking of stone  and jelly ,
Women  climbing with heavy load on
Their heads, all for  livelihood .

How  these two  sad  and sordid  
Inevitable pitfall of our  living system.
No protection  for  the flying high, cawing:
No  care for  the women lifting weight and wan.                  

This commercial, commercializedenvirons,
Bereft of its pristine charm  and care,
Our original  make   and making are
Breaking down. Being pure, we

Tend to think how Time
Brings  its  own havoc and miracle.
Rushing towards  man’s last Dust,
Fast   towards   man’s   first slime.
