A Development Not A Dream At All! Poem by Ramesh T A

A Development Not A Dream At All!

Rating: 5.0


Economic thinking is ever over shadowing social thinking;
Political ism has made the rulers lose touch of humanism;
Social reforms, justice and developments are still dreams;
Political gimmicks defeat democracy for votes by money!

For boosting economy unprofitable agriculture is abandoned;
Agricultural lands are made plots for growing concrete jungles;
Food grain field is now bio-fuel field as alternative to fossil fuel;
Pollution and deforestation develop global warming to droughts!

For sharing land and water resources wars have become eternal;
Unity in diversity has changed to diversity in unity as global theme;
Extremism, violence and terrorism lead to secessionism everywhere;
Art, Nature and culture are shattered by terrorism and modernism!

Feasible social developments should not be a dream forever!
By destruction of weapons and promotion of peace it is feasible.
So, true leaders are needed to weed out ugly heads of violence
By preservation of Nature, humanism and creation of One World!
