The Town

That town was contaminated with hot and scented air,

Scented with the fragrance of Arabian Jasmine, but this town

This town was away from the fantasy world of Arabian nights,

Here nights were rather heavy, heavy with what people smoked

Pain was not a part of this town, they felt not even happiness

This town was contaminated with hot and scented air

    That’s how depression is for a lot of people. Emptiness!
