What are we doing?

Валентина Фомина
devoted to the article "Wonders of the modern world" by Ann Halliday

There are so many wonders in the world:
Computers, planes, space travels, fax machines.
They all are greatest treasures that we hold;
From them a modern lifestyle just begins.


In ancient times some wonders could be seen;
The list contained the buildings, statues, tomb.
They were destroyed. What trouble did that mean?
We could be threatened by the human’s boom.


AII people have a right to life at birth;
They realize it would be very late.
Nuclear bombs are menace to the Earth;
None has a wish to share such a fate.


We have a will to fight, to us it should be clear
The greatest miracle is that we are still here.
