A Priority Of Development! Poem by Ramesh T A

A Priority of Development!

Economic development of a nation depends on the over all
Progress in agriculture, industries, fishing, trade and service;
Only surrealistic minds literally think and listlessly talk of progress
In industries and trade at the expense of agriculture as best!

Fast progress is no doubt in the minds of all for prosperity that
People want to see for a developing nation in the world economy!
Can any nation go ahead with the development of big industries
Overlooking the agricultural development as the base of economy?

Why go for complicated argument, if we think in this simple way -
Can we think, speak and do works sans taking food and water..?
Without taking the first step, can we jump up to the top quickly?
It is like without walking, one is thinking of running and flying fast!

No nation that has ignored and neglected agriculture can be
Healthy, strong and progressive as far as economy is concerned!
