SHORT CUT


POEM

This is an easy path to the city.
The path is but narrow
with potholes and littered with waste
thrown by those living on both sides
of the path.
Yet numerous
people choose to walk along
this narrow, nauseating path 
with their faces covered by towels.
It takes less than five minutes
to reach the noisy street.
Those who
detest the narrow path
littered with pollutants and potholes
walk down the main
road to reach the city
though it takes more
than fifteen minutes.
With none to lodge
complaint to concerned authorities
or unwilling to take the initiative
the narrow path evolves into
a heap of nauseating pollutants.
Still, for many the narrow path is dear…..
