The Lady Web That Turned Thirty Poem by Aniruddha Pathak
The Lady Web That Turned Thirty
If she were a young woman
Her youth would begin to wane,
Her father— of the old school,
Also thinks she's not so cool.
Looking at her present spell,
Nor she looks hot, nor so well,
Look at all scams she's been in,
Her aura rather grey from green,
If she can't gather her grace,
Work hard, lift up fallen face,
Never would have the Web's lure,
The world would have failed for sure.
The lady Web is thirty,
Prime, nor does she look pretty.

Indeed the WWW is ailing and facing a caution....a thoughtful write on the present reality of the world and the web.. liked this poem very much
I believe, poems need not always be 'beauty and butterfly, love and despair, and vague poetic expressions neither here nor there. Poems can be meaningful reflecting the current happenings, the prevailing zeitgeist, the mood of time. Thank you for appreciating, because I know such poems may not appeal to larger readership.
