SMART CITIES FOR SMART MEN

 

BADRI RAINA | Caravan Daily

 

Smart cities are for smart men

Who drool not on other’s  pain;

Sequestered from human face,

They work but digital  gain.

 

They will not look you in the eye,

But go past like hurricane;

While  Bharat lags in bullock cart,

They take the bullet train.

 

They will pack their oxygen

In  latest plastic lung;

Their water will come from hidden

Sack beneath  synthetic tongue.

 

Smart will be our destiny,

Smart  our  indifference

To those who will not be smart

With no genius for the main chance
