Caught Between Poem by Tirupathi Chandrupatla

Caught Between



I seem to be
Caught up
Between past
And future.

My predecessors
Always demanded
More than what
I could deliver.

My successors
Want more
From me than
What I possess.

It is as if I'm stuck
In the narrow gap
That exists between
Two generations.

So true. I just wonder if the generation before us thought that way too. If they did, they sure did't express it and the new generation is practically making their own rules.

But as a man with true perception you may rise up to their expectations as you have sometimes done sir. The thing is you need to have assessed/ to assess persons with an insightful approach.

Yes, we are stuck between two generations who expect more from us than we can give... This is the fate of everyman.... An intelligent observation! !
