Where My Village Today Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

Where my village stands today
Of its culture, local needs, the people
Where my village stands today
Where, it was once with proud legacy
Where my village stands today
Where illiteracy prevailed, but valued humans
All lived in perfect harmony without hate
Where my village stands today
When the plants and seeds were grown aplenty
With caution and care nurtured the seeds
Planted in time in the paddy field
When machines were not known by human hands
When bullocks were part of the agriculture
The songs of women in beautiful rhythm
They told the stories of martyrs, sacrifice
The local feuds and fights in unwritten ways
The songs of paddy planting is nearing to lose
Only few lives with their own memory that too little
Where my village stands today
They lacks sympathy, empathy, love to an extent
They makes their own efforts for a living
But going fast the moments of joy of altogether
The secure community living fast disappearing
The habit of smiles gone for ever
Everyone is busy in their own ways of life
In fact no one can escape from reality I knows.
