Roads In Calcutta Poem by Dr. Ramesh Chandra Mukhopadhyaya

The winter roads in Calcutta

The proud metropolis of Eastern India

throw up dust at the skies

At the slightest provocation of a moving transport

And the people sneeze and sneeze and sneeze

Calcutta poets sneeze and that is the poetry of Calcutta

Calcutta politicians sneeze and that is the politics of Calcutta

Calcuttans have breathing truble

They gasp for breath

The horns of buses and trucks and trucks

Celebrate that and exclaim

Oh Doomsday is near at hand
