Edo @ Tokyo Poem by Gajanan Mishra

I know you,
Long long ago,
Edo @ Tokyo.
I know you
How important
And wise you are
And how you are
Lifting the sun
And the moon first.
I know in nightlife,
Shopping, cleanliness
Of streets, public
Transportation you
Ranked first.
You are the most
Liveable city, I know.
From small fishing village
Edo, you transformed
Yourself to Tokyo
With so many ups and downs.
You have suffered
Earthquakes and
Worldwar II.
And yet you rebuilt yourself.
You know the art,
Art of living there
On this earth.
You are my dear,
Tokyo-prefecture.
I salute you
For the new life-dream
You have kept for truth.
