About the fate of a Bengali bamboo bridge...
Click here, to download Indian poem.MP3
The steps of them you carry,
strive for the other, greener bank.
You are not built for eternity!
Bamboo bridge, in order to cross,
what separates the other side from this,
you are firm in the beauty
of an uncovered Indian silt.
You overarch your back modestly,
curved bamboo frame.
Endowed with a single handrail,
you bind the banks.
You will not survive modernity,
will not face the future.
With the path which served you,
you will die from the pangs of progress,
passion and prosperity.
You are not built for eternity,
rather just for the moments-of-memory
of your passing guests!
Well Done, time is so precious, thanks for sharing your talent, if you have time check out my poem "TIME"
God Bless You and Your Loved Ones

This is excellent the message powerful I listened to the mp3
"You will not survive modernity,
will not face the future.
With the path which served you,
you will die from the pangs of progress,
passion and prosperity.

This poem and its metaphor evoke a quickly changing world that I presonally find dehumanizing.
Thank you for the lovely piece of poetry.
