It’s too much now,

we have gone beyond the limits,

Delhi is slowly dying,

and falling into small bits.

---

Adults, children, seniors,

all are being tortured,

long gone are the days,

when this city used to be nurtured.

---

For babies pollution is like smoking cigarettes,

every 3 minutes a baby dies because of this,

for senior citizens pollution is like ageing in hell,

instead of ageing with bliss.

---

Some people still don’t understand,

the situation of worry in this fire,

they work everyday like a day 20 years ago,

when conditions weren’t so dire.

---

To solve this matter,

the public can help a lot,

they can do so much to save the city,

for that, Delhi needs great efforts and thoughts.

---

More CNG vehicles should be used,

landfills should be managed better,

so that people breathe air worth breathing,

and so that news is positive in the newsletter.

Let’s become human to fight this nuisance…
