once upon a time <br />the sky bloomed <br />with stars guiding <br />once upon a time <br />there were rains <br />at the appointed time <br />once upon a time <br />the moonlight spread <br />evenly on all terrains <br />once upon a time <br />the flowers blossomed <br />the trees bore fruit <br />and everything in plenty <br />once upon a time <br />the earth moved on its axis <br />the way it should <br /> <br />now <br />when stars are hardly sighted <br />now <br />when there's no moonlight visible <br />now <br />when all we know are cyclonic storms <br />now <br />when we rarely get to see a flower smiling <br />now <br />when we eat fruit synthetically ripened <br />now <br />when the earth keeps jolting on its axis <br /> <br />will any believe my once upon a story? <br /> <br />30jul2010 <br />14.00hrs<br /><br />indira babbellapati<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/once-upon-a-time-107/
