In the misty light of early morn hours,I used to gaze at the lonesome bridge and
used to surmise that,the nascent waters of the spring at Verna were streaming
gently under the old bridge, into the River Sal in Margao, replenishing its
receding waters.

Now, with misty eyes, in the dusk of the evening, I behold and gaze and my heart
is anguished, to discern that alas, my bridge is there no more.

I run home and clutch in tears, a canvass upon which I had painted the bridge in
my youthful days.

Woebegone the greedy predators, who little by little are killing mother Nature
in Goa.

The killing of my little bridge at Margao (Khare Band), is another telling tale
of the rampant sledge-hammering of all things beautiful, all things poetic,and
romantic,in Goa.

I curse with all my heart the monstruous vultures,that have descended upon my
Goa,of poignant love and fondness.

Forgive them not Father, for they full know what they are doing !
