I Am Your Noida

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..
