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