Significant Century

The most significant Century
Of the modern world
Just came to an end
It has seen world wars
Nations dividing through
The continents
Also uniting again
Unmatched Scientific
And industrial progress
Conquering space, man
Reaching the moon marks
Only a beginning of
Far more challenging missions
A lot of old human
Afflictions conquered by
The medicine discovering
Some ghastly new ones
Irony that on one side
Progress is uncovering
The nature’s inherent spectacles
At the same time
Not hesitating to destroy
God given natural environment
