Seems, man has come far from caves,
God particle has been found,
And comes now gravity waves,
Mastered he has most of waves—
Wind and tide and water waves,
And matter's energy waves,
Till some new wave is around,
What else, what else, this man raves.
Well, is there anything left?
World has wide warp weft and heft,
Many mysteries abound,
Things plenty wait to be found.
Yet, man may be deft, not wise,
And danger lurks beyond eyes.
History may take full round,
Fire might need be again found.
He might put up a front brave,
He might still be back to cave!

The message is clear, and it's a timely message. The dangers in the poet's note are real, but how to remove these dangers for our next generations? We all are blind in undue nationalism and and religious extremism! A poem that invites to think, I am optimistic as at least we have started thinking of it.
You are absolutely right. It is blind nationalism and religious extremism. But there is still hope as long as there are kindly souls like you.

I would like to translate this poem
Many things will be found ahead. Many research works are going on. An interesting poem is beautifully penned.
Above all in the nature of warning to man if at all he cares to heed. Thanks a lot Kumarmani Mahakul.
