Stop It By Any Means

Stop It By Any Means

P K Routray

Seventy years’ progress

on this earth I could assess

with my naïve bent of mind

1. awed by the deteriorations around, I find

Beg I apology to put here facts bitter

The readers may criticize and differ.

Seventy years past and now if we compare

My heart bleeds to advise “ Hey Man! Beware.”

Then the children drank milk straight from cow

Now they drink treated, packed as diseases infect raw

With minerals and vitamins added or deleted as deemed fit

as man is in a position to find His lapses and to take the credit.

Then preventives to children were a few and far between

But still noticeable and pinpointed losses of life I have not seen.

Then a child used to run with a thin bag to his school

Now the child walking bent carries an oversized jumbo bag full

Then a child had a lot of leisure to run and play

But now they have no leisure the course is becoming tougher day by day.

An open airy field filled with school children has become a rare sight to see.

To a smart phone or to a net they go when from the studies they are set free.

Yes they tune their brain to understand Newton and Einstein at their teens

But a creation that I post here I request the experts to stop this by all means.
