It is a short poem about how man makes some grandiose improvements in his surroundings but how badly he needs to have a very basic improvement in his heart’s outlooks.

where jungles stood

great cities rise

on desert wasteland

farmland lies

where man aspired

to rearrange

he dreamed a dream

and made a change

his mind is such

a shaping force

you wonder why

he treds a course

indulging pride

enslaved to greed

as inexorably

they lead

to mercenary depths

so deep

his god must stop

at times to weep

as man improves

each varied part

except for his

primeval heart

    Well, humans are naturally discontented with whatever we have… Our heart always seeks more… This is a very meaty poem…

    Goodness! Ok this poem is exciting. I always feel this when the essence of it is truth. How can that be helped?

    Great one!
