Then and Now


        That was then when we 
         studied using pen -paper,
         practiced handwriting.
         consulted dictionary,
         committed to memory.
                                              This is now when kids
                                              are used to handle computer,
                                               having no idea
                                               of mental calculation 
                                               Google gives each solution,

    
         That was then happened 
           Eager to hear voice of
              of most beloved,
           depending on your land phone,
           or to wait for love letter.
                                                       This is now , we see :
                                                       Mobile is always at hand.
                                                        No need for waiting.
                                                        Communication easy.
                                                        Also Break up is ready.

       That was then when we
        blindly obeyed our parents,
              cared for seniors .
         Learned to give priority 
         to both family and friends.
                                                 This is now just clear
                                                  New generations holding 
                                                 ' Don't care' attitude .
                                                  ' My life is mine' being the
                                                    motto of life all along.

       That was then when to
        respect the moral values
        as universal.
        Plain living and high thinking 
        accepted as ideal.
                                                        This is now when we
                                                         wish to float in luxury,
                                                         and always selfish.
                                                         Malice but no sacrifice.
                                                         High living and plain thinking.
