What Stopped 21st Century's Civilisations Progress?

What Stopped 21st Century's Civilisations Progress?

Someday when the world will accuse,

What deteriorated mankind's progress

After the twentieth century?

Then the only reply would be,

The scientific mind was put to disuse

Entertaining the accursed modern dress!

An attire of fake smiles and conceited speech

And a laugh from a cold heart,

And a company made only for gain;

So how could mankind uplift without pain?

With all the discoveries and inventions that teach

Honest labour is civilisation's progress from the start.

If imagination be snatched from the mind's eye,

Could mankind flourish unaided blindly?

Not so, for that happens in this century

With children bred without imagination to be

Parasites to feed on natural resources and die,

Gifting the future generation a poor heritage to see!  

When Poetry is crushed under the feet

And a gentleman's civility is a talk of old age,

And inventions are replaced by innovations

And man buries himself in cell-phones and televisions -

The Devil's inventions will bring mankind on the street

And progressing civilisation will be a talk of old days!
