POETRY - CIVILIZATION - UMM AMATULLAH

CIVILIZATION

Civilization is a canker worm
That has well become the norm
Coming in various forms
Leaving behind destruction in turn

Females now dress half-naked
Products are now half-baked
Morals have now been caked
Packaged and thrown into the lake
Under the guise of civilization
Children no longer respect their parents
Words of advice,  no more potent
Discipline has become latent
Oh!  What an evil portent!
Under the guise of civilization
Good morals have rotten
Ancient values forgotten
Absolutely nothing
To serve as cuttings
Civilization!


Upon us it'll soon dawn
That our society has gone brown
The once beautiful lawn
Forever gone!


We've got to wake up to reality
And look up these issues carefully
Nature's precious gifts,  sadly
Are being handled carelessly


The fabric that holds us together
Hasn't gotten any better
The threads have fallen apart
Like a loose unwoven mat


Now is the time to rise
Stand firm and be wise
Let's take only the good it brings
And throw the odds into the winds!
