Amitava Sur - Praying A Relief

Cutting the trees and uprooting grasses
The giant like sky scrapers are built.
Oh' my my, I like to remain
Miles away from this.
I'm tired of this monstrous city,
Finding no soul in it.

My heart still runs -
After those butter flies and moths,
I still dream of roaming in meadows
Within those daisies and lilies.
I see myself running in the aisle
Between the green paddy fields.

Walking bare footed on the dew laden grass -
I'm wetting my feet in them.
Sitting solitarily by the side of a lake
Watching king fishers, scooping their prey.

O' Lord you take this heartless and polluted city
And give back that forest with plenty of beauty.
Let us breathe some garden fresh air again
And think something wise and act like human.
