The Last Word Poem by RAJ NANDY

THE LAST WORD

While the world moves on at its normal
pace,
Speed is picked-up by the human race!
Our fast moving world has began to
shrink,
And is no longer as vast as Columbus’ dream!
With global satellites and inter-net connections,
And tele - com network linking up nations!
With micro technology and silicon chips;
This vast wide world is now viewed and seen,
Enclosed and captured in our drawing room
screen!
Life is now cloned and stamped,
With genetic codes, and IDs and Passwords;
But mankind still does not have that last Word!
