In the near future
One's sure to face more rowdy
Wild kind of abuse and slander
Than it faces right now in debates
Between parties spokes persons-
Often one watches on TV channels
Behaving clumsy so rough, so rude
Unmindful and negligent anchors
Anchors, just wasting precious time.
Even, in a distant future
Things that one wanted to see
Nothing extraordinary seems
Seems to happen for its longing
And similar content on the face
That must be somewhat different
Forming the gravity of lofty hopes.
The lesson of life not learnt-
No education system of the kind
Yet, basics needed to be encouraged
As such to be soft-spoken and elated
Zealous, curious and passionate-
To be tolerant, literate and respectful
Courteous and well behaved-
But, not rough, violent and furious.
