A Short Dialogue With Infrastructure Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan

A Short Dialogue With Infrastructure

Rating: 5.0


Man is making you
bigger and bigger
man in turn is becoming
smaller and smaller

If i have to be made
bigger and bigger
the simple logic is
man is also growing bigger

You are man's physical growth
i meant his mental growth
today....
i could glide down the highway at 120km/hr
to enter a factory which is pitch dark
without power
i could reach office soon and be ablle to do nothin
tomorrow.....
the highway itself could become barren
fearing a missile from foreign
is missile also your counterpart....
designed for mass killing?

see
IAM JUST INFRASTRUCTURE
iam the same everywhere
if iam a100ft road
i would remain so forever
i never grow on my own
regarding... man's mental growth
i don't know
you seem to be asking the right questions
to the wrong person
{infrastructure leaves}

see
even the 'dumb' infrastucture knows
i was asking the right questions
WHO IS THE RIGHT PERSON

Sky is the limit for any development and from the stone age man upto the jet age man developments have taken place beyond description. You have touched this subject nicely.

You have started a great new dialogue on a topical issue...with infrastructure, it is difficult to decide who controls what or whom for that matter- excellent piece 10+++

My take one the poem is man has both become overly dependent on the infrastructure as well as neglicent in its maintenance.....who controls who, , , ,

Well, this interesting and well expressed poem is certainly different from most others one sees on a poetry site, Samanyan. It is written on a topic that can be expounded upon at great lengths, far greater than just what this one single poem addresses, and for the simple reason that infrastructure is everywhere. It affects our daily lives in ways most don't ever perceive. You may have opened for door for a flood of poems on this fascinating subject! Carl.
