City Dwellers
The city night with myriad lights below
and no stars above ...
Who cares how many eyes are looking up to heaven ?
The roll and rumble of rushing cars ,
the rattle of ceaseless action --
The noisy world that dulls and deafens of city dwellers
Few twinkling stars may still be seen up there
Who cares, dazzled by the glow of neon lights ?
Who sees the trees when passing by ?
Who hears his heart or feels his essence
when thousand distractions are out there
for city dwellers --
Strangers in a strange world devoid of starry sky,
devoid of inner heaven
