Shantha Ratii Poet Free verse

My Hazed Singapore

My Hazed Singapore!
My once gleaming and buzzing city 
Now forlorn and glum
Relentless blaze and we keep mum
Hazy, crazy, why can’t I see 
The silent intruder reminds me 
How fragile life and existence can be
Gone the sunshine that sparrows once chirped 
The smiles of flowers and trees usurped 
Young and old huddling in on tasks 
Strong and robust scurrying off in masks 
Can we not check their insidious greed?
Let the long arms of the law act indeed!

Beata Agustin January 13, 2025 at 10:37 PM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
