A Joint-Family Life! Poem by Ramesh T A

Physically worn out elders look for spiritual peace;
The mechanical types spend time in video games
Doing the household chores as regular job, of late;
But the youngsters demand works as they do daily!

It is like the race between hare and turtle not as in the
Past telling the story, 'slow and steady wins the race, '
But hare-like youngsters ask turtle-like elders to run
With them to reach the places as they wish sans fail..!

It's like the friendship between frog and rat tied together
As mark of inextricable friendship everywhere in the world!
On the plains and land, it is okay both for the rat and frog,
But seeing pond, frog jumps into it immersing rat to death!

In the fast world, elders are like rats in the hands of frogs
Tied together forever to live a joint-family life soon to death!
