On Innovation

Once upon a time, a wheel was invented

Mother of them all, that invention was presented,

Nothing remained same after that hour of revelation

Life seemed bearable and work became a revolution

Inventors kept on inventing and making life easy

But I must say the innovators, they got really really busy

The former produced new items every now and then

The latter took the challenge and worked in their dens

Everything from light bulbs to fighter jets was invented

In the same breath all that, immediately was supplemented

Such is the power of that word we know as “innovation”

It never lets anything be in its original condition

Necessity is may be, the mother of all inventions

But no less pure are, the innovators’ intentions

To make better best is the call of the day

To make winters warm and summers cool in May

Innovation, friends, truly is the key to our progress

Otherwise it’s for sure that we perennially regress

Therefore I urge all to put on the thinking caps

Let go of our laziness and those untimely naps

Let’s make a difference that which really counts

Breach those so called barriers and surpass those mounts

“We pass this way but once” as someone has said

Let’s do our bit for the world, before we are dead
