Riddled Existence

by Dr. Madhavi Godavarthy

Raised buildings
Broadened roadways
Enhanced technology
Increased speed
Mind's magic
But...
A shrinking soul
A holed whole?

You have explained here controversy of materialism and mental process of
thinking so well that I couldn't prevent myself to appreciate you.When will
a rhythm establish between desire of matters and soul,no one knows.But a
race is continuously carry on.What will happen to at last,we know very well
which happened in Uttrakhand recently.Too much progress is a nuisance
for humanity but man has started to set out on a along journey.He does not
want to stop himself going on the path of an unexpected goal.So the result is
in front of us.Thank you very much for depicting a problem of this era.There
is no peace everywhere.We have a lot of physical equipments but don't get peace except tension.If I have said too much,then excuse me please.A
lot of thanks for describing the situation of our modern life. With regards.

True, Madhavi. Looks as if the development is at the cost of our emotions and inner feelings. Good composition.
