doomed heritage bandra hill road

first they give you an award
next they grab
your ancestors bones
exhume
your playgrounds
your religious heirlooms
yes blood suckers
want your walls
your porticos
your heritage
to build a
road widening tomb
while kutchi
marwari
gardens bloom
untouched by the
municipal broom
more newer malls
branded showrooms
suffocating
infrastructure
more cars
more hawkers
no more room
hell road
once hill road
is now doomed
political apathy
unassumed
municipal machinations
that cause gloom
water logging floods
malaria dengue chikungunya
a new threat looms
