There Is A Rush For Newness Poem by abu tarek md tahsin

The evening as you can see
is glittering across the old city
where everything is new
There is a rush for newness here.

For cars, For clothes
For hotels, For food
For apartments, For condos

There is a rush for newness here
Right here in the old city

Old people trying to live new life
Young ones too eager to follow

There is a rush for newness
in the old city

Only the gods who stand over us
are not new!
