A: Black (for the ones who walk); Brown (for the dirt they thread on), yellow (for the dust they breathe in)
"Imagine there's no clean air,
the whole world is yellow tinted,
it's hard if you breathe,
your nose blocked by black soot"
"Imagine there's no clear roads,
the sides are all dirt, the center are all holes,
when those lawless cars drive through,
your eye wouldn't see through."
"Imagine there are plenty of ugly buildings,
narrow, low, and holed,
wall from white turned yellow,
be extra careful when you enter down below"
"You may say they're constructing many new buildings,
but they're all interspersed among the old ones,
like a big new mall and around it are some old small ugly shops,
and the roads outside broken and crowded,
i hope some day they'll tear down all the old and unused ones,
and the world will be new and organized"
"Imagine you're in a car traveling on road,
the bus behind keep honking for nothing,
the rickshaw on your right trying to kiss you,
the car in front suddenly halt to pick someone,
and the pedestrians on the left sneak across your car not scared of dying."
"Imagine you can never see a proper dustbin,
rubbish exist at every inch of the earth,
cows and dogs scavenging the dump,
a naked fellow searching there and fighting for his lunch.
"Imagine the trees are gone and the sun red rod,
people walking around in long pants long sleeve as if they're not hot,
inside their mouth full of red disgusting paan,
spitting their sputum or pan everywhere making the road look disgusting
taking a pee anywhere they want make the place smells like rum."
"Imagine a homeless family picnic at the round-about,
the father selling cotton buds to any car who would stop at the light,
the mother nursing a dying baby begging for money,
the sister drying their clothes on the road divider,
the lil brother lying on the road side playing with his mody dick."
"You may say all these are getting rarer or non-existence in big cities,
but i assure you it is there in any metropolitan here,
people are poor and low and they will always be,
development is fast but the old and ugly stay where it is,
people are still behaving the way they used to be,
India is just a third world country pretending as a uprising power wannabe."
