ALIVE OR DEAD

 

K. M. Kale

In the midst of machinery

We’re becoming almost dead

With ever new technologies

We’re being constantly fed.

 

There seems to be no work left

Except to press buttons

Which has made us into

A race of automatons.

 

We’ve produced every comfort

To the point of satiation

Production we know well

But not the joy of creation.

 

To come to true life again

We need a reviving balm

Which can only be supplied

By Nature’s blissful calm.

 

Alas!  We have no time

To look at bountiful Nature

Busy as we all are

In mutilating her every feature.
