Now or never

Soon as a printed page turns to waste now, 
An old-age home gets a homeless guest now.

Why human heart has not grown since he came,
When taller gets Everest crest till now. 

Apes have turned human, man hardly humane,
Everything grows as better turns best now.

As man gets bogged down in needless battles,
He hardly has time for higher quest now.

Tighten belt, man, the call of time is now,
It’s now or never, here comes your test now.
