The Swing Of Life Sways Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Times change far off and extreme,
Life too, like an early dawn's dream;
Time was, man worried what to eat,
Not what to eat now, digest it;
Ere worry was to deserve wealth,
To weasel now, hang on to health;
From nourishing soul in body,
Man worries, body wrinkled be,
From beatitude, inner beauty,
To hiding crow-bars that would be;
From how to reach a lofty crest,
To survival, rise over rest;
From modest dream and karmic quest,
It's skimming cream de la cream!

The swing of life sways, from one extreme to another.
How things have changed— then and now.
