The Death of the Red Mail Box
Originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1
Time has passed him by
Back broken
Withered old
At Bandra Hill Road
Covering his shame
From the passers by
Once his belly full of
Xmas Cards New Year Cards
Diwali Cards ..
Soul stir fry
A post card to the
Sophers from Mount Sinai
A letter to Mr Adenwalla
From Brunei
But the Internet
Hot Mail
Yahoo
G mail
Email
Rediff
Choked him
Strangled him
The Final Good Bye..
The Red Post Box
Is dying
a cancerous tumor
Incurable..
Sabotaged
Do and Die
High and Dry
A vacant emptiness
No reply
Mumbai
Monsoonal flood becomes Venice
Disaster management turns blind eye
Municipal apathy
Choked gutters
Boats that ply
The political honchos
Want to make it Shanghai
The red post box utters
A silent cry..
Sheds a tear
Without a sigh
