Who Is A Savage And Who Is Civilized? Poem by Ramesh T A
Who Is A Savage And Who Is Civilized?
In the ancient time, when savage way of life was in vogue,
Might was right to settle matters by fighting with each other;
In the modern time, after advancement in knowledge, life style
Has changed due to civilization with right as might afterwards!
Wrong use of development of science and technology in wars has
Brought in vogue sophisticated weapons of mass destruction now;
Is world history repeating itself again as was in the ancient time
By making might as right to settle scores in wars often nonstop?
What is the difference between wars then and now going on ever?
Is civilization also equal to savagery as possible in mathematics?
It looks illogical to have this kind of equation now and forever;
In mathematics anything can be proved in anyway, but it's nonsense!
Art for art's sake is foolish as the way proofs are made in maths;
Art is for life and mathematics should be meaningful to accept ever!
Civilization sans culture is like the civilization of Aliens we know;
The question is - Do we too live so after making developments so far?
Ira Fledgling it seems to me that civilization actually made everything a lot scarier in this case. if we before people were engaging in fights almost as if following their instinct, then now, just as you said, we acquired knowledge, we got smarter, and that means that now we make conscious choice when we decide to go into another war. how terrifying is that? ! this is an incredible poem, I enjoyed it a lot, thank you! !

Fledgling Lara It does feel like humans never seem to learn from our mistakes. We consider ourselves wise and more intellectually intelligent than we've ever be and yet there is still war, there is still greed and there is still fights for power. This poem is quite the conversation starter, I really loved it.
