Neither Here, Nor There! Poem by Subbaraman N V

Values change, cultures change
Traditions change, thoughts change!

'Old' not made its exit yet
Nor 'new' made its entry right!

Tradition struggles
Modernity haunts!

Neither here, nor there I am
Unable to make out where I stand!

Betwixt I remain confused
'Old' in me pulls me that side
'Youth' in me pushes me this side
Know not when I be transfused!

Pains of confusion
Pangs of revulsion
Make life a miserable plight
Amidst this gloom' Lead kindly light'
