My Parents Were Once Children Poem by Raj Arumugam

my parents were once children
and their parents
toddlers in time to others;
I too was once a child
(nothing significant)
and I’ve been a father
over two and a half decades
(just natural days, natural ways):
and in their turn
my children and theirs
will also wear robes
as they are rolled out into their parts;
and so beings fulfill their functions
willy-nilly, helter-skelter
in the magnetic fields of creative nature:
really
there is no need for myth and legend
for there is no one special
even then, at the imagined roll of the dice…
