Life For A Lifestyle

They dirtied our waters then sell us water purifiers.
They contaminated our air and sell us air purifiers.
They cut and ravished acres of jungles and sell us air conditioners.
They destroyed land and sell us organic food.
They took away the beauties of sabzi mandi and gave us malls.
They declared land barren and grew concrete jungle.
They robbed us of our neighborhood and "gifted" us cages (we call them flats).
The broad roads have no lanes for the poor bicycle.
They gave children "international" schools and snatched away their childhood.
They gave us connectivity where we are completely disconnected.
They gave us network and now people have no time to meet and speak.
They gave us "kindle" and took away the aroma of a paperback.
We have traded life for a lifestyle!
