Change The Yardstick To Measure Progress Of Humankind! Poem by Ramesh T A

In the modern material world, money based way of life
In the name of economic progress is the indicator of
The over all development of humankind everywhere sure!

The coming of Corona pandemic all over the world has
Led to clamping of curfew, lockdown of all businesses
and social distancing for want of medicine is a check!

Corona has put a great check on money system of men;
After a few months, relaxation has caused increase of
Prices of all items making honorable people beggars!

Moneyless migrant employees in millions sans money in
Hand are begging for food, transportation to their
Homes and a place of shelter though no fault of theirs!

The system of measuring the progress of humankind has
To be changed to a new standard of yardstick sans money!
