For a breath of fresh air
For a breath of fresh air
Melvin D'lima
My breathing, my experience of life
is shallow; my growth is stunted
I ingest toxins surrounded by
poisonous chemicals and water
tainted with microbes and agrochemicals
They will do nothing about it
until international regulations
kick in and local protests emerge
They first cut the trees, built on swamps
and will then come for me; I protest
