Faded Glory

Filth, dirt and grime
Just pollution and noise
Neither reason nor rhyme
Bombay lost her poise

Innocence murdered
Women raped
Not safe anymore
As people gape

We all did our bit
Fuck'd her like a whore
No mangroves left
But shanties galore

What have we become?
We didn't even shed a tear
A long way we have come
But the city drowned last year

A thriving center
Now reduced to dust
Her very people
Betrayed the trust
They striped her naked
To satiate their lust
Crippled and tortured
Die she must
