RED SAND

every morning and eve too
i pass thro' rajpath

red sands adore it
kings of new delhi
duty bound
to replenish

after a shower
or
a dust strom

red stand fly off
too quickly

may be its glamour
its too unsavoury
of the static

my feet get a feel
but remember
to go religiously

i ask myself
is that
i'm duty bound

she comes
to stay
nearby

she works
a better lot to me

my heart asks
is that
you're too religious
to paint the roses

i reply
in a low refrain
roses can't be adored

i know gene-tech
it's makes and remakes

what we forget
too instinctively
