उत्तर
The feeling of gloom enveloped me,
As I witness the concrete consume my city.
Not a green sight visible for miles,
All I see around me are glossy bright tiles,
Not a mountain, stream, or even waterfalls,
I'm only surrounded by big grey walls.
There is no way for nature to come back,
To this city shut with fences that just don't crack.
