Culture cherishes where there is pastoral life; <br />All Epics and classics speak about that life. <br />Civilisation of court life is hypocritical, false; <br />Pastoral life of country side is true, natural! <br /> <br />Poetry flourishes where Nature and life mingle; <br />Prose and criticism survive in modern setup. <br />Blaring jazz music of cities is boisterous ever; <br />Folklore of farms is as beautiful as song birds! <br /> <br />Lust of civilsation lasts as long as body is divine; <br />Love of culture lasts as long as spirit survives! <br />City life and farm life go on works and holidays; <br />Villages are shrinking and cities are expanding! <br /> <br />Food, raw material and energy demands increase; <br />Pollution and population make the world hell now!<br /><br />Ramesh T A<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/culture-and-civilisation/
