Those Trees

Those trees, those giant trees
That locked branches with each other
Once lined either sides of the road

Those trees, those noisy trees
We were ‘shit’ scared to walk under
Homed a crowd of cackling birds

Those trees that dripped water
Long after the rain stopped
Those trees that hid the sun even in summer

Those trees that seemed to
Have stood there forever
Those trees that seemed like
They would stand there forever
Are gone now.

They were sawn across their trunks
And dug out from their roots
Leaving no trace of them
Except in memories.

Well they had to go
To make way to a flyover
There was no choice you know?
(not for them atleast).

ಹಕ್ಕಿ ಇಲ್ಲ ಪುಕ್ಕ ಇಲ್ಲ

ಹಕ್ಕಿ ಇಲ್ಲ
ಪುಕ್ಕ ಇಲ್ಲ
ಬಣ್ಣ ಬಣ್ಣದ
ಚಿಟ್ಟೆ ಇಲ್ಲ

ಜಿಂಕೆ ಮೇಯೋ
ಹುಲ್ಲೂ ಇಲ್ಲ
ಜಿಂಕೆ ಇಲ್ಲ
ಜಿಗಿತ ಇಲ್ಲ

ಹಾವೂ ಇಲ್ಲ
ಹುಲಿಯೂ ಇಲ್ಲ
ನೀರೂ ಇಲ್ಲ
ನದಿಯು ಇಲ್ಲ

ಇರುವ ಕಾಡನ್ನುಳಿಸದಿದ್ದರೆ
ನಾನೂ ಇಲ್ಲ
ನೀನೂ ಇಲ್ಲ

No birds
No feathers
No colorful
Butterflies

No Grass
for the chital
No chital
nor their stride

No snakes
No tigers
No water
No rivers

No forrests
We protect
No you.
& No me.
