Billboard

Mammoth billboard
Towering in the sky
Rising sun
Golden clouds
Wonderful birds that fly
Tree tops with buds of spring
The whole panorama
Obscured from view.

The message's clear and bold
Passing it for the umpteenth time
Attacks the subconscious
A beautiful damsel ever smiling
"Try casino for luck, " it says
The mega-million mania
Triggers the mind.

Oh! Mighty billboard
Foundation and the structure
Multi-storeyed marvel
Announcing man's triumph
Nature hides in shame
And I wonder
"What an achievement! "
