Drain pits <br />Neighbour's unknown <br />Smoke and effluents <br />Hard and fast traffic <br />people more harder and faster. <br /> <br />A jammed scenario <br />Entrapped youth <br />Lust and breasts - panoramic views <br />Dirty stench <br />Washes down the poison perfume worn <br />And sweat in humidity replaces. <br /> <br />Piled up duties <br />Untime work hours <br />Ear banging drum beats <br />On Saturday nights <br />Cheap opium sales <br />During immovable peak hours <br />Pimps and friendship clubs <br />At the door steps <br />Discounts displayed billboards <br />Bridges and Thar clad roads <br />Leading to malls and super shops <br />With bulged pockets going sick <br />Returning home in drenched clothes <br />Redefines the posh and slum life <br />Mixed and fixed culture. <br /> <br />Life in Chennai <br />Is costly <br />But predominantly nasty.<br /><br />Mohamed Umar Farooq<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/costly-but-nasty/
