Modern Man Poem by Nandhagopal Ramachandiran

Who is he, if not the man

Who has opened the woes can?

Who has never ever raised a plant,

But thrown his axe in a felling slant;

Who has let the air so low

And ruined the gentle ozone flow;

Who has set the weather change

Getting out of the usual range;

Who has twisted the words of peace,

But pursued deadly wars with ease;

Who has trapped the world in debt

In his rosy bed, where he quietly slept.

Who is he, if not the man

Who has opened the woes can?
