MODERN PHRASE

MODERN PHRASE
¼vk/kqfud 'kCn & yhyk/kj txwM+h-English translation by GPBahuguna½
There is stumble like in modern phrase,
which changes gait and brings alert in look
Before any village,town,shop or a market place
I saw it first in business enterprise
than in any vision
Not by deal but before its mass production
I wanted to introduce it in my philosophy
Even then something got altered by my stumbling
My desperation kept me pushing into hopefulness.
Settled as domes of waste in cities
The migrated community from villages
brought sweep stick grass technology in every home
To sweep off dust from their destiny
Which got collected from all corners to settle in their life
in this era of super -modernity.
If a village had developed within village
Something could be felt had changed
Vacated frequently though a change could be reflected
in village still.
Not even one fourth part of natives ever return
To pay casual visit to village
They keep exploring new horizons within city
To seek entry in some other destinations.
The advancement formed new alliances with sources of earning
Not to leave even false coin to be utilized for winning toss.
Some got mixed up with elements
To register their interference everywhere.
The countries and people got divided in their separate identities.
Every word and stuff need to be seen
For its make and manufacturing
To be throughly checked for its technicalities
The localities and people need to be understood
as symbols
Though the machines may be found more genuine than the human beings here.
When I came from village
I used to call change for going better
together with going spoiled for lack of words
But across the square towards northeast
where powerful and affluent people reside
Success is the only symbol of change
where the less corrupt are seen more honest in comparing.
Man may turnout to be quite different from your imagination there
A bargainer, a broker,a hired killer
A real brother of the killed abductor
Surprisingly simple yet successful rogue
May seem dispenser of social justice.
Each one of them know their tools best
To operate in the hell of their making.
This area does not belong to the producers but to
the top consumers
Things may be produced at any place or distance
But they are sold in this area only.
Get getting sold out is the success of any product.
In every household here
Broomstick worth rupees three thousand is used.
But the broomstick ranging between twenty to thirty rupees,
Has secured its place in middle class life
like any buffer zone between war and peace.
The electric brooms can never be used as tool
For sending right message to the people
by calling abuses.
But suppose it is used in near future
The pace of life will change automatically without kick.
