Poetic Verses

Deviating  Culture

There is some concern and talk about the grave danger
That some countries are now facing the death or disappearing of their local culture
But who is to blame if those  forerunners do not make it a factor
To pas those cultural relics to those who  are coming after.

As a  writer once say that a little learning is a dangerous thing
And of course there are many and wonderful changes it always bring
So  since the opportunity allow them to get a better education
They  quickly put any remnants of their culture in the background.

Remember we are living an age fraught with all type of technology
This has provided  medium  for them to be influenced quite readily
Using the technology being impressed  by the other country's cultural diversity
An because of this the people are projected as being wealthy.

Never discount the power any cultural event  has  on a country
This will bring some financial gain to any economy
And visitors willingly find time to  take part in the festivities
Each  depicting remnants of the particular sector of the country's history.

As a little boy I used to take joy to listen to the village old ladies
Telling stories handed down  to them by there  mommies and daddies
Some of these I still remember quite well and too will pass  them down
To some of the  little children all around, thus keeping  them on someone's tongue

Then how can those  cultural saying be  put over to stimulate interest
Because the environment  is not conducive  to this
Perhaps the language used  was not  encourage, as some may feel ashamed
Because in a sense some people try to forget the background  from whence they came.

In some countries that are blessed with a culture diversity
Sometimes used this asset to  great advantage quite  readily
Allowing in  some cases  some facets to  carry on some of their indigenous  ways
And  take  guided tours  through  those areas depicting the many traditional displays.

So let us not be despair that our children are avoiding their culture
Gone are those days when singing  those folk songs were a feature
We have  provided them with all the  comfort of  all the latest gadgets and  technologies
How can we expected them to pay attention as we  give verbal stories.

Since they are grounded in the  seat of the  modern technology
Why doesn't anyone  put them on the I-pods or those  CD
Make them attractive and in the  music and latest beat they appreciate
Thus  hoping  that some area is reach and that attention is  stimulated.
