Yet Old Is Gold! Poem by Ramesh T A

They said the pen is mightier than the sword, but both are out of use now;
Pen is used only for signing Cheque leaves and signing register papers;
Sword is replaced by guns, bombs, machine guns, missiles and drones;
After the advent of Computer internet facility uses of pens and books haves stopped!

Typewriters and printing press, publications of books are replaced by computer;
Computer internet is mightier than all weapons of men in the world now sure;
All articles, books and all are published on internet by various websites world wide;
More than that, smart phone does all those jobs and more within seconds now!

These new inventions are shining as Stars in the Universe replacing old ones;
But despite such novelties, the prestige of book publication and diary writing are still on;
Papers and diaries are still in use in spite of online facilities of computers everywhere;
Even though science and civilization dominate, art and culture cannot be destroyed!

Slow handwriting of pen is replaced by fast work of Computer only to facilitate all
To perform things faster according to the needs of modern world, yet old is gold!
