Paradox <br />- - - - - - - <br />Here dwells the paradise <br />Greenery all around <br />Lustrous and dewy-fresh <br />Through the year the earth looks <br />Landscapes with mountains <br />Lakes and beaches <br />All add to their beauties <br />And to them Nature yields <br />Be it Switzerland, <br />France or Holland <br />Beautiful and bountiful <br />Is Nature bestowing <br />The people gifts so wonderful <br />Rich with money <br />And rich with nation's economy <br />They look not bereft of happiness <br />But they look very happy outwardly <br />For they are inclined to hear <br />From Indian monks <br />How to lessen stress <br />Mind seen with no peace of mind <br />Physical distances <br />Have been reduced by technology <br />Instantaneous is the communication <br />Now because of easy connectivity <br />Seated on their sofa in drawing room <br />The couple can chat with their children <br />Miles away in US, Canada or Britain <br />But for the last two months <br />Between the same husband and wife <br />Sitting so close to each other <br />There has been no proper communication…<br /><br />DEEPAK KUMAR PATTANAYAK<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/paradox-67/
