Culture! Poem by Varanasi Ramabrahmam

Culture is like a flowing river
it changes with time;

sometimes changes time too;

as sunlight, water, air and earth
change the seed into a sapling
plant, tree and also tree becomes dead wood;

Culture is the cultivated one
differently at different times;

There is no standard culture

We create, follow, recreate,
demolish, destroy culture
depending on our needs
and compulsions;

Culture is not stagnated water
It is a flowing river
And may become arid
Depending on our cultivation
Or negligence;
