Cities Built


Cities on the banks of rivers

are seats of civilization from olden times

Cities on the sea shore

are places for trade and commerce  from ancient times

Cities on places away from sea

could be places of safety at all times

be the reason for ancient kingdoms in short

settle their capital far away from the ocean

The sea devours and devastates  a lot

as it brings prosperity and growth

the iconic image of sea  is ironic

a paradoxical influence as well as being enigmatic .56ae89283b06d6c1770d5bd05493d752

The Tale of Two Cities.


The tale of the cities
keep us in the going
letting a best of knowing
carrying it with incidents
that went on to make up the city decent.

The landmarks that still remain
give us a peep into the past in a feign
while most have been razed down in the main
without concern and consideration but for gain
giving an appearance shoddy inviting pain.

The cities now have transformed anew
look different as the renewal
goes in speed unaware of the heritage sinew
making digressions many not few
rendering a sight gaudy subjected to rue.

The cities were formed and framed
with the mind and indication not tame
but with the thought of fame
that would be bestowed on their names
taking them to heights without blame.

Now they look sophisticated and grand
They differ from the prescribed strand.
Holding high raise buildings in the land
might look secure but could never withstand
the quakes and Tsunami that dismantle the band.

The tale of the cities get added with facts
as the years go in a fast moving tracts
The inclusions in later years gain strength than the acts
that had been performed to make the city intact.
Listening to the tale and questioning are 11ap22 pleasant interacts.
