Never Been a Village Girl

I live in towns, in between the towering building, But still those mud houses call me, far-flung, I live amidst the infected hinterland, But could heed the calls of fields and immature land, I stay in air, in a creation with windows and doors, But could see those homes with a large ground and moors, Save the flowers, trees and animals, we yell, Still exists in villages, which no one would tell, People here, with work in their mind, But villagers, hunt for new friends they could find, I am a town girl, Even though those villages lure me and their beauty do they unfurl, But lives still going in endless curl, And I have never been a village girl… K.S.Lakshmi
