while we are tech savvy
we aint a bit careful about what goes inside us
we know a lot of software
but have lost our soft corner for anything
like a computer
we operate on a computer
doing things at a great pace
so great the pace
that we cant look ourselves in mirror
forget about looking inside and thinking
we grab what comes to our hand
and gobble it down
you talk of bringing urban facilities to countryside
i think it would be good to bring some rural facilities to town
get some good milk in town
i dont know what inside that pouch which says milk on the outside
and what’s with the food
i eat as little as i can
and still keep ballooning
what’s wrong with life in town
nobody wants to take time out to figure it out
Time.. it just passes
i cannot be sure it has been well spent..
money comes good
it goes good too..
people smile when they look at each other
there is nothing real about it
it is just like the milk in pouch
well preserved and adulterated..
how about the vegetables?
you get a whole lot of chemicals free with them..
NPK and pesticides
they say they cannot grow anything without them
if only some one will try
they will know..
while we are careful about the moments we spend
we are careless about the years in our life
yes.. pennywise and pound foolish..
as my time starts in the office
i check on the deadlines for today
while i will achieve them with care today
i writhe in pain about the years i spent just 'achieving' them
the rear view mirror gives a dreadful view
and looking far ahead gives no better view either..
what have we been doing?
where is it that we are heading?
while millions die of preventable diseases
we waste millions in games
while millions are born malnourished
million tonnes grains rot in rain
while my village gets no electricity
street lights glow brightly in day
as if competing with the sun above..
Turn off that computer once
to turn on the light inside
and think hard about all that
that computer didnt let you think..
hear all that
that computer didnt let you hear
Do you hear the birds?
You have made a good start my friend..
