‘Jungle of concrete’: Poem by Janvi Sharma, Apeejay School, Tanda Road, Jalandhar

The place which
Was lush green turned
Into a barren landscape.
The place where one got
The coolness like
In mother’s lap

 Got turned into the revenge
Of a foe.
The place which provided
Us everything turned
To provide nothing,
The fruit, vegetables
Wood and much more
And we replaced them
Just to build a jungle
Of concrete which provides
Us nothing.
Hence, we conclude that
We humans are selfish
Who don’t value those
Forest of trees who care for us
And love the jungle of concrete
Which indirectly
Kills us.
