Developments In The Modern World! Poem by Ramesh T A

Developments In The Modern World!

Rating: 5.0


What can money, gold and diamonds do when one is caught by heavy storm
With floods occupying and inundating buildings and skyscrapers due to
water-bodies are occupied by buildings everywhere with no way for flood
Water to drain and go out on its natural course to the sea finally...?

One will have not even a drop of water to drink and no food can be ready
To have, eat and think about other matters to get away from floods sure;
Only helicopters can carry water bottle and food packets to throw on
the terraces of builds for the people to take and satisfy their hunger!

This sort of a situation has become a common thing in many places of the
World due to occupation of water ways by buildings and skyscrapers now as
Long droughts have dried up water passages of rivers and brooks making it
Convenient to construct buildings for the expansion of urban areas sure..!

In the same way construction of roads across forest areas making it most
Inconvenient for animals to cross over them and have encounters with men
In villages and towns and even elephants get dashed against by railway
Engines rendering them with big injuries and some die sans any relief, , !

Is this called development due to technological induction in day today
Works in working places and houses everywhere to catch up with civilization
In the modern world and enrich trade potentialities to boost economy quick
By leading all achievements inundated in floods by a single stroke of Nature?
