My City

I am born and grew up
in this city, my coveted place

I think this city of mine is most safe and secured-
barring four incidents of bomb blasts
seven communal riots
a dozen occasions of incendiarism
about one hundred rape cases
and scores of murders or half murders
and pick pocketing, burglaries, cheating and eves teasing
are too normal things to give them serious thoughts.

Truly, my city is good, quiet and safe
I love my city, my dreamland
I studied here, passed my engineering course from Karve College
just three stops from my colony. I found my sweetheart here.
she and I had schooling together.

We had been married for ten years now with a son,
both earn a lot, me as a company engineer
and she works for a private firm.
Money, money and lot of money
we could bring in anything we cherished.
our life prospered with the city's prosperity
and we enjoyed all: love, life and liberty

But my marriage is almost on the rock for one and a half years
as my wife joined the club that vindicates extramarital relations
I don't like my better-half be taken by another man
No! my values don't permit such promiscuity, filthy acts!

My wife tried to convince me and said, ‘we are big people in big city
and such things are general in this modern time, darling! '

My bile got boiled over and
I admonished her to go no more to the fraternity
And what a tragedy! he threw me out of her life
she sought legal separation, all of a sudden

Now I am all alone in this quiet and safe city...

Really, my city is most safe and secured?
As in here, everything is stable except human life!
