Retirement Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

Escape from the busy schedules
From the needle of wall clock
Faces of the crowd
A new life of retirement starts

Retirement from the job
After a long service
Feeling some sadness
The sadness in losing friends

Retirement after a long spell
The life journey's semi break
The final break in last moment
The moment of farewell from world

Retirement, a seclusion of life
But beautiful for the learning ones
Opportunities are plenty
where Books can be read
No one is supposed to disturb.

Marriage ceremonies in surroundings
No doubt, retired ones are invitees
Where there can be friends to meet
To make themselves active in conversing.

Cultural events of the towns
Pensioners are welcomed
where public gathering is the show
And presence of seniors important

Retired persons in active politics
Certain categories are reserved
Where also they are neglected
In positions of respects and power

Engineers and Doctors of repute
Professionals who can make a service
But they becomes lazy in retirement
The committed ones on work engaged.

Money and affluence doesn't matter
Persons of old age must get due shares
In society, public, and cultural forums
where they must be provided on their merit.

In fact retired persons are an asset
Their experience are to be made good
For the welfare of society and service
The perfect ones who avoids clash of interest.
