Infra Structure

That freshly asphalted road

The sparkling granite lobby

The towering buildings

Flyovers, runways, edifices,

Proclamations of success,

Marking territory

Asserting dominance.

These were mountains once,

And grasslands and forests

That birthed, nurtured and nourished

Generations of life

Now consigned to oblivion

In the victorious mausoleums

Of these deathscapes.
