Living in an era where

Machines replace manpower

Everything electrified

Hands just to switch on and off

Here or there; wherever you are

Companioned with mobiles

Legs seldom touch the earth

As you float in skies or ride in cars

No dragging waits for postman’s bell

Email is just instant and immediate

Friendships made so easy and quick

Just a click, you in the midst of options many

Less time in kitchen or with sewing machines

Housewives enthralled by the magic box

No time or patience for finger calculations

Kids so familiar with calculators

Books so heavy and elaborate to peep in

Popped search engines, offers in precise

Dusted accounts book are given rest

As spread sheets excel brain’s speed

Not only in touch but also in sight

See while you chat with your near ones

Inventions are indeed innovative

Lessen the strain though stress still sticks

World so small and our vistas so vast

Still our heart aches when it lacks

The tender touch of pure love and care

As the world is too busy to hear and heed

Still our hearts demand and deplore

Is this only that we really want?
