Flouting The Human Norms Poem by 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!
