Wake up, when the world is miles ahead…

No idea, how the sun rises or sets.

Wonder why elders walk down to a Worship place…

When everything accelerates at a high pace.

Right palm on mouse , left on mobile,

All is available, you just call or dial.

Why these aliens: parents and teachers,

Treat us as outsiders and strangers.

Why are you always behind times?…

Oh Dad…come on, the Universe is mine.

Mom and maid, why two different names?…

What if we don’t listen, why she blames?

Music so soothing , then why holy rhymes?…

We talk through our hat, is that a crime?

We lay foundation for  old age homes,

Love nuclear family and take decisions alone.

Patriotism dying, West appears charming,

Who says these signs are alarming?

Childhood and innocence has died untimely…

Freedom and solitude is the priority.

Life, just a journey from birth to grave…

24/7  run after the desires we crave.

Oh I wish, Techno Savvy knows, family is a boon,

Detached from the roots , they will never bloom.

Goals and aspirations high, just want to fly,

But with no or less ethics, CAN YOU FLY?
