Demonetized And Superannuated. Poem by Nabakishore Dash

Ten thousand and five thousand
Bank notes were
demonetized.
Now those are not seen,
forgotten, valueless
and not prized.

Once these big notes
ruled in our country.
Presently pieces of
useless papers only.

Pride of their past
is never honoured.
Demonetization has made
them absurd.

Future of those notes
is beyond imagination.
Present denominations
are in admiration.

Similar is the principle
with superannuated servants.
The past mind set and cadre are
simply like venomous,
but dead serpents.

Trumpeting arrogance and
egoism of the past would
be rated as vain glory.
Living in the present would
make one happy while
braggarts would be sorry.
