What Is Progress? Poem by Ramesh T A

Vague vision caused by dust particles, fog and mist makes it
Difficult to view what is before one when going on the road
On foot or on a vehicle in the metro-cities of the nation..!

Due to this vague situation, air flights are cancelled as it
Is impossible to land on or take off from the air ports now
Besides due heavy rains train services too are delayed ever!

This is the status of cities that have made great developments
For the progress of economy of the nation causing pollution
And climate change due to that and everything is in confusion!

Fast progress without measures to stop backlashes like pollution
Or climate change leading to heaviest rains, floods due to storms
Is indeed takes all to square one to rethink for real progress!

Just economic and technological progress cannot make all look
Towards the Utopia all dream about in the world since long..!
