Lost Bazaars

 There used to be a Bazaar here,

Where this mall now stands arrogantly.


Bargainings galored here

replaced by 'bargains galore'

As in malls, everything has a price tag.

No room for discussion, for dialogue.


Things bought quietly 

to fulfill hunger and thirst

and to decorate 

walls and houses.


Along with Bazaars,

 Home is also lost.

Walls remain, 

As of reminding of civilizations great.


In open Bazaars, 

people shivered in cold.

However here people are 

cold, factual, to the point.


Pointless discussions are gone

So are gone 

Qissas and Kahanis and Gapps,

 all forgotten alike.


Documentaries on the good, old world

bustling with humor mentions them

 and even petty fights and quarrels

which are replaced by Wars nowadays.


With Bazaar are lost the people

 who used to act as pacifiers

who told others to forgive and forget

they are replaced by negotiators instead.
