Theme: Critique

Dickens in Our Hard Times
by Mukesh Williams
Hard Times.JPG
Dickens rises once more
In our hard times
With linguistic poise
To question the value of
Industrial capitalism,
And institutions of civil society,
But just like us
Finds it impossible
To do away with
Rapacious utilitarianism
Outright!'

Comment There is no difference between 18th century world and modern world reading Charles Dickens satirical novels indeed! Nice comparison !
