Go villages!


After years of sojourn in the cities
yearning for smog free pure air, clear water
It’s time to leave the concrete jungles
To get back to nature, back to villages
Go villages!

Enough of this drudgery to make a living
in the confines of  buildings,  in the milling crowded
streets, in the snarling traffic jams, in the false
pleasures of shopping malls, way side eateries,
star studded restaurants, quit the hell!

Heavens lie waiting in villages
Set in green bushes, plants, trees
verdant landscapes, beckon to their fold
where forest cover still holds sway
idlyllic! Ideal! Villages to the core!

Youth and population are educated
The modern times have touched
The lands of the green villages
Cell phones, vehicles, tv,Internet
et al, have all arrived in right earnest

Still there lie the green fields
With agriculture still in full swing
Air pristine, water crystal clear
Food aplenty,neighbors are family!
Go villages! Go heavens! Go, go, go!
