I Say'No' Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

I would say “I don’t know”
For any of the science or computer query “no”
They will look at my face and pose another question
I will call them near and peacefully mention

The world has moved very fast
The children have no end to last
You can’t answer to their questions
As we are ignorant about its solutions

We were confined to simple mathematics
There was no word like advance statistics
Algebra and trigonometry were totally new subjects
Life was suddenly changing very fast in fact

Russians had just put a sputnik in the space
There after started the real competition or race
Some of the subjects were added in syllabus
There after it was new adventure in science after Columbus

Today you see the weight of books carried by students
Small children are heavily laden with contents
Of course they as smart as adult person of our age
We feel poor animal in recent times confined in the cage

They are very much prone to new subjects
They pick up easily and arrive at concluding act
They will show anxiety in knowing something more
I will silently withdraw in corner and deplore

Many people might be feeling really unlucky
To have heard about improvement in latest technology
Yet it is reality and we got to confirm our backwardness
World has really changed and come out with altogether new face

If children feel superior to us then credit goes to education
It is moral boosting for them to have witnessed such an elevation
Everything thing is available in mini sized computer
They need no one for help such as expert tutor

I feel greatly relieved to know about their progress
They are independent now and have full access
They can augment their knowledge form external source
Parents are not worried not to know more and exert the force
