SHARED JOYS
At global village We are the happiest beings. We’ve trammelled long grass, cut forests Mined earth’s gold out of its aching belly, Made holes in sky. Happy, as the world is an open space Pictures— raw, violent, viral, flash and flash In crore crystal screens round the clock. We share joys of the world Can we bar our farthest ills and wounds? It’s a two-way street, If we take its fruits We must bear its threats.
