TECHNOLOGY AND OUR ROOT by Debabrata Das

 TECHNOLOGY AND OUR ROOT 

The ship of technology 
    Floating on the sea of life 
Taking us far and away-
     Towards newer  civilizations 
Of intellectuals higher,
      Alienated we all as probably 
From the courses of Mother Nature.
       But whither shall it take us ultimately?
That is the question uppermost in the mind
        Hovering, while sitting meditatively 
A turbulent storm in the inner mind 
         Making me all unstable 
And I feel crazy pondering deeply. 

           Calm I down, yes, calm I down 
Solace-Divine and Spiritual 
         Rolls down my whole being 
A vision- we all being led forward 
      Towards our origin, our source, our root
Identifying we all with the root. 
     The root- the seed, soul, core-
The unbloomed bud of bloomed civilizations. 
      The ship of technology vanishes ultimately 
But promises to be with us 
      While praying for necessity to God.
