The Bags—-Manjal Pai


The habit of taking bags for shopping

that been from the days of yore

has dwindled in the course of time  in core

none wish to carry bags from home for purchasing

pick and choose the requirements in the store

packed in carry bags  nicely looking

come home, unpack and throw it out of the door

they go first into the dustbin in a throwing

then to the streets where they lie all the more

scattered all round the lanes  oozing

be there for long in rose, yellow and blue

as the bags come in shades  different

a time after they emanate a smell  in true

foul and incorrigible all the more diffident

they do not decay all through

lie there for years together being impertinent

spoiling the soil with a vengeance

a pollution  horrible of a great extent

bought  by the people with an irreverence

as the carry bags are levied instant

not they cost too much  in reference

only a paltry sum henceforth as known

literally it being small with an inference

metaphorically  it is expensive   as shown

we leave the earth defunct  by our interference

our progeny  would  be made tomanjal bags groan
