Wheels within wheels

 

V. Lalitha Kumari

 

Modem man is caught in a cage

Or call it a metallic maze

No escape even for a sage

How it is let us envisage.

 

Man today on machine depends

Which in turn energy expends

When the turbine supply suspends

Man, his faithful sinews commends.

 

Our efforts for speed turn futile

If nature on us doesn’t smile

For all our invention and style 

Life leaps a while and limps a while

 

Buying machines is now a craze

So that one can sit back and laze

But it is a baleful bondage

Hope this rhyme has a clear message
