Quality of life or Standard of Living

              Are we having better standard of living?
              If so, at what price are we paying?
              Will this touted improved quality of life, will later pose a problem
              When it may someday create an equlibrimm shift.


              Those apparent and well accepted signs of progress
              Is this a way of measuring or quantifying success
              Or has this created another societial mess    
              As lots of people are now living under stress

              There are those who have not semblance of conscience
              Stopping at nothing to keep up an appearance
              Without stopping to think about the reality and the graviy
              That such could put them in a state of financial difficulty.


              Most of us on evenings hurry to our houses without fear
              Confining ourselves devotely in out artifucial atmosphere
              At the same time many of those electrical equipment are being employed
              So that those performing house work will not be so laboured

              
              Our children whom we love so dear, we have no fears
              Of Letting the sit before the computer and Tv absorbing those electromagnetic rays
              Then to cap it off during the days
              They are allowed to play long hours with those electronic games.

              No allowing the joy having a long and exhilerating run
              Through the fields or parks in the morning sun
              Letting not dispense but keep all that energy
              Confined to the house doing something so sedentery.


             It will be startling to take a look
             And see how many people dear travel by foot
             Not wanting to walk even if it is not that far
             Will resort to travelling by omnibus or car


             How can we really measure the the standard of living?
             Have we not at the same time seen illnesses increasing ?
             Can it be that such have been because of our involvement?
             In attaining this goal have impacted and infarcted the environment
