Had We Been Not Modern, Could We Have Modern English Poetry? Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

We are modern
So we are able to write
Modern poetry,
Had we been not,
Could we have?

Say,
We are modern
As for our
Suit and boots,
The shirt, pants and neck tie,
The mirror and cosmetics,
The watch, the radio and the camera,
The pen and paper,
Modern facilities and conveyances,
Had the newspaper, the television, the phone
Been not,
Could we have been,
Had the world been not linked with
Roads and bridges,
Roads cut over hilly terrains,
Bridges into the rivers?
