NATURE IN OBLIVION


Walking down memory lane,
I feel myself fortunate,
I've seen colours of nature,
I've myriad memories to cherish...

Playing hide-and-seek
And doll's marriages,
Jumping on puddles
And sailing paper-boats.

Walking through crowded streets,
I feel as if -
Nature's on the verge of oblivion,
Been replaced by technology...

Playing games on mobile
And watching videos,
Browsing the internet
And viewing the idiot box.
