Cereals oat meal and cream wheat,
Supplement the morning diet,
As the world over now rejoices,
On pre-cooked ready to eat food.
Gone are the days when ,
Baking and boiling,
Frying and steaming,
Took the energy away.
Break open a pack,
Put them into the bowl,
Pour hot or cold milk,
Eat and it is done.
Go about your work,
What to do for lunch?
Again tear open a sachet
Containing cooked meals .
Everything is over in minutes,
No need of a kitchen,
Nor do we require,
Stove and oven.
Expecting a same temper,
For other chores,
Like bath and wash,
All to be done in seconds.
If minutes and seconds work,
What is the need?
For hours and days,
Months and years.
Longevity advances ,
To 70, 80 and 90,
What to do ?
So long and so forth.
Hours will become a day,
Day assumes the year,
Year opts for a decade,
Decade extends to a century.
Monotony sets in,
Old turn stale,
Young feel bored,
No work takes the toll.



One reply on “Am I A Visionary?”
Too many instant meal and fastfood places…some of the joy and community of the meal is lost I think.
