Youngsters are dropping off from my life

Tweet

I find this phenomena weird. Those that were in my life when they were young be they family, neighbours, friends they are all forgetting my existence They have more love for what they find in their mobile than sitting with me and having a chat that was a norm than an exception in the good old days I am not sure if I have added this poem earlier but here it is in case you wish to read it THE NOW GENERATION I see them rushing everywhere, For those around, they don’t care Going past with a ‘Hi’ and ‘Bye’ ‘Have no time’ they say with a sigh! They run to catch a bus or a train In the slush and dirt of the pouring rain Their job’s at stake they seem to say This is their life from day to day. With one hand glued to their cellphone They wait for the sound of the musical tone Chatting away, not a moment to spare, Looking neither here nor there. Their thoughts are scattered everywhere The kids at school, with none to care What about food their thoughts go there The cleaning routine there’s none to share Throwing their hands at times in despair Our life they say is beyond repair The choices are several where could they go They have to rush they can’t go slow. Yet they have a smile on their lips They go about, swinging their hips Their popular slogan, ‘leave us alone’ ‘It‘s our business you mind you own’
