Winds of Change

I lived once upon the earth and now I live again But in a different time and zone and by God ! what a change! Mountains, valleys, rivers gone and not a blade of grass. Instead I see concrete jungles and towers made of glass. The farmers hand was put to plough and the artisan his trade. Now everyone has a degree and you will never find a maid. An evening time was dinner with wife and children, a usual scene. Now I click a button and my family pops up on a screen. I worked from morning to evening and then I came home to rest. Now I work in a lousy BPO with not a place to nest. The air was fresh and pure and clean and nature a blissful sight. Now everything looks deathly dull and as if struck with blight. People carried their wares to the market place to sell. Now everybody moves around with a blackberry or cell. Everything is done so fast and with the aim to cut the cost. In the bargain I think we are only going to make a loss. The stress is high and tempers fly. Man is lonely,in his chair sits alone to cry.
