My Bandra Is Dying

My Bandra Is Dying, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

once the indisputable
queen of the suburbs
now a wretched lady
of disrepute an old hag
my bandra is crying
banging her head
against the wall
her wails unheard
her pain immeasurable
to our ministers corporators
municipal bourgeoisie
my bandra is dying

poetically what i see
i am not lying or implying
a wake up call to
those in power high flying
elections round the corner
your time ends now
a thought replying
slowly unseeingly
my bandra is dying
