Subbaraman N V - FLOUTING THE HUMAN NORMS

Crisis of culture Proves a vulture Presents a picture Dismal in nature! Born very high Brought up nice Educated well Employed fine! Earned handsome Spent wholesome Childrens' growth All his goal Sacrificed his all To make children tall With hopes very high To hear the heaven's call And to heave a sigh Of relief from needs At the old age indeed! Crossed sixties right Lost teeth and sight Hearing impaired Limbs paralysed Semi blindness induced Gangrene produced! Yearning for care Longing for love Looking for concern Pining for protection! Lo! left in lurch By those he loved! Crisis of culture Proves a vulture Presents a picture Dismal in nature! Year of the aged International Fear of old age Gripping universal Today's young Tomorrows aged! Why then the sin Sin of seeing the aged In old age home caged! Young ones to ponder and learn to Love the aged Care for the aged Respect the aged! Old is the child of the young Young is the child of the old! Ungrateful men Unwilling to keep The sacred cow of age After its milking stage Leads to the butchers' arms Flouting all the human norms!Subbaraman N Vhttp://www.poemhunter.com/poem/flouting-the-human-norms/
