Cry Of A Dying River...51
Rajendra Kshetri *
I am no longer the river I was once
Lend me a voice
A voice for people who matters
Lend me a voice
A voice for whom it may concern
Lend me a voice
A voice for community participation
Lend me a voice
A voice for participatory research
A voice for RIVER EDUCATION.
I am no longer the river I was once
The river that carries a voice unheard
Unheard by the State and the people
The stony state stapled with matters materialistic
The people plagued by people’s representatives
Who cares for a river’s voice
A river’s voice brazen by bureaucrats
The river that cries to be heard
A river’s voice frozen by social apathy
Who listens to the voice of a dying river!!!
