थे न्यू CREED

Glittering neon malls
breads and bangle
litter on streets
cars all mangled

Black water and soil
trickling plastic taps
parched dry beings
empty village on a map

Why create a world
of more greed?
waiting for gandhi
guiding lives idol-free

Money in the bank
can it fill the river
a land bountiful
buy some clean air?

What does it take
to grow the green earth
reclaim soil bleak
save water as it rains
Awake! Awake!
for man's existence
is finally at stake
