Cry Of A Dying River...97
Rajendra Kshetri *
I am no longer the river I was once
The river that dares to imagine
In a robotic world of machination and mechanization
In an era of hyperreality replacing reality
In an age of 'artificial intelligence ' substituting natural intelligence
In a time of hundred lies becoming the truth
The river that has the audacity to imagine
In a time of universal piracy/counterfeit
Imagining a world of imagination is a revolutionary act
Oh e-men! Only if you understand the power of imagination.
I am no longer the river I was once
The river imaginative that imagines
A green riverine ecosystem all along
A picturesque waterway between Loktak and the capital city
A world of green environment with trees on the river banks
A world of rivers free from plastics and pollution
An imagined community in the land
Where rivers flow freely in sync with nature
A communion of community and empathy communing with rivers
Oh e-men! join me in imagining such a world of imagination.
