Life is now in capsules, so precise and compact
Everything in an array, kept accurate and in tact
Days well planned and even seconds counted
As nights quite shortened even sleep minimisedFood in
readymade packs, swallowed even in roads
Tinned milk and juices swift killers of thirst and hunger
Hanging in crowded buses or flying in two-wheelers
Plunging into moving trains, to be punctual in office
Kids burdened with heavy bags and tough lessons
Early to school and back home late, play time is nil
Some stuffed in hostels sweating with dreams of home
Lacks in nothing but something is missing, indefinable
Some live in far-off lands earning to boost their wallet
In touch with dear ones but still mind tastes numbness
Indeed inventions made this world so small and concise
But hearts’ needs cannot be curtailed or compensated
Mother’s lap or father’s hug, spouse’s warmth or kids’
kisses
Too precious to part with, too sweet to scorn as silly
Only when we lose we feel the worth of what we had
Only when we gain we feel the worth of what we are
Life is just a game, gallop but not grumble when u fail
Life is just a battle, brave it but not baffle when u face
Life is just a dream, live it but not regret when u realise
Life is but a unique gift, careful not to gamble or jumble |
