Human Relations
Once the house was with high-spirits and ebullient
Playing, dining and all things were done together.
Grandpa used to advise and mentor every one.
No aloofness, filled with a congenial weather.
As time passed families too changed gradually
Limited people with their unlimited wants
Confining to their private rooms locked from inside
Stick to their gadget screens, without any response
No sharing, no chatting, no roaring of laughter
Sullen silence pervades in the closed apartments.
Teens indifferent to parents and vice versa
Concealing their failures as well as achievements
Those uncongenial things torment the wise old man.
The kindred can never perceive his emotions
And ignore them as silly and meaningless thoughts.
Will they ever feel the decay of relations?
