You thought I am entice and
came to me
I did not beg or call you
You thought I am the lock
and you are the key
Just came here to enjoy and
brew..
I cordially welcome you all
Give you a place to live in
You can twist and turn as if
I am a doll
A house, an office, a salary
to shed your skin..
You made skyscrapers on me
You made unlimited complexes
on me
You made me a place with high
connectivity
You removed the forest cover
and made me barren..
You construct on me and say
its dust all around
You tease my girls and say I
am unsafe place
You throw the plastic
anywhere and say me dirty
You spit on me and say
others uneducated..
You buy many cars for your
status
You avoid public convenience
for your convenience
You jump the traffic to
reach on time
You bribe officers to be
safe..
You steal electricity to
save bills
But you can’t stop cursing
for loadshedding
You can buy a dress worth
dollars
But you can’t help a needy
or poor..
You sit and compare me with
others
But you can’t correct
yourself
You can speak fowl about me
But you can’t make me a good
place to live in..
You always prove to be uneducated
in educated way
You always prove to be a
good advisor
You can always discuss but
not solve any matter
You can always sit and enjoy
other suffer..
Why are you not being your
own manager?
Why are you waiting for a
good governance to control you?
Why don’t you yourself
develop your civic sense?
Why don’t you help yourself?
I am because of you
You can make me a better
place to live in
Don’t make me just place of
buildings
Rather make me a place of worth
living..
