Rehabilitation. Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

Old age when there is no wage
Old age when there is no gains
Only suffering and humiliation
When it is in bad circumstances
The torture, mental and physical
The curse, the cries, the tears
The ailments, medicines, helpless moments
To walk over to immediate needs
Here this old men not only a story
The real life events in news items
There it is only a story,
The real suffering more pitiful
May the old age passed smooth
The rights to live in dignity a must
The brightness of eyes a dream for all.
