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?
