Silver streaks at dawn
On sacred Yamuna, crammed
With polythene bags.


Yamuna- a sacred river of India

I see the same phenomenon in Pakistan.This is happening to all rivers and streams passing through the cities. They are crammed with garbage and polythene bags and water seems like sludge. There is a moan, a groan behind the silent beauty of this haiku........10/10. Regards Naseer
