In my morning exercise I do on my Hercules bicycle, <br />I rode by the FDA compound on Madhusudan Kalelkar Marg, <br />And saw through the design holes on the compound wall <br />Inside and happily saw the green variety, lawns, trees <br /> <br />And the birds on the branches, birdsong of wide range, <br />Some structures, personnel working to clean up campus, <br />Water flowing in place and perhaps encouraging life in it, <br />All awaiting the rising sun or the moon to reflect. <br /> <br />A thought of grief came to me too, as in his Immortality Ode: <br />That FDA Commissioner can take a walk in this place, enjoy <br />With Andrew Marvell 'Annihilating all that's made <br />To a green thought in a green shade' if he knew his own treasures.<br /><br />Daniel Trevelyn Joseph<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fda/
