Poems  
Utopia
by TA Ramesh

The four hour journey came to a halt.
How fast the situation has changed!
From the city through the villages to the town the trip ended.

The villages take a lion’s share in India.
The pastoral settings were that Sheppard's realm.
From this nostalgic area the dream of Utopia rose!

The poets dreamt great dreams and wrote Epics!
The peace lost in the city was regained in this Utopia.
The town is the combination of these two.

The sea with the other paraphernalia makes this a paradise!
The philosophers preached truth and brought peace for us.
The chaos by politics make this place too a jungle.

Men have become animals to play their roles.
Life is not a game, but life is life alone.
