We are in the age of…

World says,

‘I am moving too fast,

we are advancing in all fields,

people are now buying lands on moon.’

But how can we forget our conditions

still we are living in a miasma of dipression.

No one can see that we are staying in a hovel, and

they are living happily in mansion.

We are struggling in the darkness

but they are using electronic gadgets.

Their is no money for food, shelter,

medicine, and for education, and

they spend their money in amusements.

They consider them as

modern, artful, and gentleman.

For us they say,

Oh! you poor, artless, untidy worker.

They are living their life, and

we are struggling for living the life.

    I like how show some people work hard, and struggling and other have plenty and go stuff they don’t need.

    You are so right I think man’s priorities are not right. We should look after our fellowman before being so immersed in advancing technology. A well expressed piece.
