There Was A Time Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

There was a time
When I used to live
With my mother, father and aunt
And brothers and sisters,
But now live they not,
Just the house is there
But there is none to keep in
And look after it.

Life and its changing times
Not often the same all the time,
What today is with
May not be tomorrow
And above all, this age of displacement
Placing you there where there is none
To be called own,
Distracting and distancing you from
Them for ever,
Never to be united again.
