Cry Of A Dying River...96
Rajendra Kshetri *
I am no longer the river I was once
The river that feeds you
The very river you fail to protect
I am no longer the river I was once
The river that nurtures you
The very river you piss shit spit on
I am no longer the river I was once
The river that grooms you
The very river you defile
I am no longer the river I was once.
I am no longer the river I was once
The river that makes your land fertile
The very river you convert into a landfill
I am no longer the river I was once
The river that is stranger to plastics
The very river you dump plastics on
I am no longer the river I was once
The river that is the face of Imphal City
The very face defaced by Imphalites
I am no longer the river I was once.
