Now That I'M Growing Young Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay

Now That I'M Growing Young

Rating: 5.0


Now that I’m growing young / into my second childhood
I’ve decided to forsake / brooding brows and swinging mood
All things that I tell now / and all stuff that I read
All thoughts I jot on paper / must be understood by a kid.

Now that I’m growing young / turning green once more
I have decided to think simple / leave behind the abstract’s door
All things that I do now / all thoughts that I seed
All words I shoot from mouth / must be understood by a kid.

Now that I’m growing young / I must not find it hard
To not beat about the bush / speak straight not mincing word
All words that I speak or write / all words the others read
All my penning on the paper / must be understood by a kid.

Now that I’m growing young / I must break each old rule
Make clarity my hallmark / lucid expressions my tool
Whatever price I have to pay / would not pay the abstruse a heed
All my outpouring on the canvas / must be understood by a kid.

I have chosen this path long before... may be because I entered that stage a decade back! ! But the trouble is what we say would be understood only by the kids... and not the growing ups or grown ups! ! Is this what we call generation gap? Very interesting! ! Enjoyed! !
