still seeking

Gone are the days,

when Indians were proud of themselves,

leave alone culture and tradition;

These aren't the days,

any-more where elders have a role to play,

in families, nuclear all the more..

Destinies none to be predicted,

which people hardly believe in

ambitions and goals are alternatives taken;

Run for money, greed swallowing

joy and peace, lay forgotten, untouched,

ray of hope nowhere,

lightening of power strikes past, aye,

Parties, clubs discos, replacing;

the trend of modern era

of indians, who had had sought with virginal belief,

the ultimatum,

Now here we are,

dwelling and muddling with the present,

thinking of past,

worrying future;

And here are we isolated

not taking pride of what is left??

or.. are we.. waiting for Obama to campaign about it, nevertheless;

Oh!! mother India dying her slow,

slow death indeed..

and as we are stranded, in our own

romance, divine of materialistic luxury,

without adhering,

LIFE AFTER DEATH..
