A poem exploring the bad impact of rampant, mindless urbanization and industrialization of our space which houses the populated exodus and congested city space clamouring for natural greenery and vegetation, gasping for breath and fresh vision and sunlight rarely explained elsewhere. Urbanizing our space, where have we reached ultimately? The dry river, silent nature, what are they telling about?

" He knows the broken roads, and moves In circles tracked within his head." Good knowledge of the environment. Interesting.
