Friends' Speak Poem by Capt. Manas Kumar Das

No more age to listen
The guilt of this,
The guilt of that,
Still, some of my friends speak.
Where As
My elders no more
to speak that.

At childhood-
When the elders speak and advise the same,
Theses friends advise
Do not listen to them.
We together enjoyed avoiding all,
Real enjoyment the childhood naughtiness.
So, the past is remembered,
that naughtiness remembered,
and the friends.

Now at fifty-
Friends advise being as elders,
Time changed,
Men changed,
Years changed,
Only not the two ears.
Better not to listen,
Only follow what the inner one speaks.
