ETERNAL RACE

ETERNAL RACE

Prof Dr Colonel (retired) K Prabhakar Rao

 

High up in the sky stars twinkle

Hidden in the tress birds quackle

And feeble light cast fading shadows

As light breeze flows through the meadows

The clouds gathered in the darknes stage by stage

As sickness swarms every one in old age

The days pass in futility into oblivion

Adding to the passed years into many billions

Sun and moon eternally change their sites

The acts are eternal as those flying kites

The planets are on a continuous unknown voyage in sky

And the meteors race past soaring as birds fly

Rivers flowing down the land reach finally the seas

Angry volcanoes spit fire and disturb peace

Science has grown by leaps and bounds

Yet the man has remained spiritually unfound

Missing Know-Why

Dr. Rao,

This is a keen observation. Probably we're very little more advanced that our ancestors of millennia past. With all of our scientific knowledge and technological advancement, we have conquered know-about, and even know-how, but forfeited know-why in the race.

As the saying goes: the more things change, the more they stay the same.
