Generation Gap

Generation G..A..P

With all tired
she is in the corner of the room
her eyes have lost their vision and
ears have lost it's reception of voices
she is too old to walk and move
her plate is the paradise of all flies

her eyes dried from tears
her mouth and stamuch is free from food
all her holdings
surrounded to her bed
oh she is the orphan in that large family

who is she ?
is she a maid to them?
no she is the mother to him and
and grand mother to the kids
what for she kept as orphan
cause she is very old burden
is it only for her?
