THE WORLD HAS SHRUNK
The world has shrunk into just
a few sheets of printed stuff
and thrown at our doorsteps
every morn from speeding cycles.
We see in its various columns:
the ugly face of human race;
deaths and disasters dancing around;
vice and violence gaining ground;
mighty machines and macro-computers
making the society but marring the senses;
the intrusion of the idiot boxes and
the invasion of the satellite programmes
inveigling us into wasting our
invaluable time in watching trifles;
science growing and conscience decaying;
developments leading us but to doom
as the spirit of man is not allowed to bloom---
With unfeeling haste we munch these
with our breakfast and forget fast.
The world has shrunk-- so are our hearts!
