Family Gathering In Recent Times.. Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

There is a group of people,
Gather after much persuasion,
The faces are not yet fierce,
But unpredictable,
When one starts to speak,
Another interrupts,
Justify the doing with the past facts,
Before going to the next sentences,
A mini squabble is heard,
Flaring of fiery words,
To torch the hearts,
Pouring of volcanic lava,
To burn down the emotions,
Everyone thinks that they are right,
And believe that they work hard,
Not received the due appreciation,
The heads of these family units,
Have lost their voice,
Once their children have started to earn,
No peace is found when they gather for a while,
As everyone distance themselves from one another,
The friends of face book are more important,
Than the old people who sit in front,
Many things can be shared,
To make another to be respected and rejoiced,
When the hearts are locked with tough passwords,
It is very hard for the owner to deliver the message,
Of that they love their simple parents,
Who want the love from their loving children,
As the parents don’t have no one else to call their own,
Except the children they reared through hardship.
