A Distant Dream! Poem by Ramesh T A

Sans qualification many indulge in fraudulent works for survival in the world;
Even qualified people do so sans conscience and morality to earn quick wealth!
There is no chance for good, meritorious and talented ones for survival anymore;
For, corruption in all walks of life instigates all sorts of people to indulge so!

Whether it is a publisher or medical doctor or businessman, all are partners in spoil
Along with the masters of the society such as politicians and bureaucrats ever;
They all make great promises to start with to lure for involving all in business or others
Not for completing any work in good order but to while away time to collect charges!

One day's work is dragged as far as possible to three days to collect fees daily
Making all feel, instead of appointing men to do work for them, they can do
By themselves whether it's constructing house or white washing walls or plumping;
People are driven to do so using precious time of theirs in other vital jobs in life!

When no one is doing respective jobs following ethics, everything will go in chaos
Making developments and progress of society a distant dream or mirage in the desert!
