Mechanisation Poem by Sanjay Mehta

Mechanisation



Trees all around
Animals to be found
Ecology sound
Earth a huge place to live in
Man confined to himself and his clan
Harmonious relationship with nature planned
Utopian conditions existed for peaceful man
But mechanisation has brought comforts to man
And disgrace to human land.
Disturbed the entire gait
Materialism in his veins
Thousands rendered homeless
Millions to follow
Find hard to earn their bread
Thus leading to unrest
Chaos, chaos and chaos all around
Where is that peace of mind.
It's deadly tentacles slowly swallow
The adorable nature
High chimneys spit there.
Through mechanisation alone the effect can be seen
A fire through the hole
Huge deluge- my prognosis
The alter has been laid
Our ‘Superiors' kingdom strained
Weather has shown moments
To the graveyard
Yes, it is no nonsense
As temperatures rise
Human values decline
Eliot's ‘Wasteland' has set it's stage,
But remote are his chances of Shanti
Ponderous foot has been set on distant lands
There fate------?
The green I can see
Sound of water I can hear
But Biblical Noah is to be found no where.
