Estrangement 

Melancholia of desolation is beyond words

Many hapless people suffer from alienation 

No pertinence in blaming the youngsters or offsprings 

They are forced to go either abroad or elsewhere 

Seeking livelihood and to mould their future 

Leaving their homes and oldsters in seclusion 

But the old are victimised to suffer the empty nest syndrome 

For man has become a social animal in the course of evolution 

As a man he needs confreres to associate with 

A soul mate to discuss and ruminate the past 

Recognition is a must for his survival 

Longs to be loved and recognised without conditions 

But one can reprogram and be alone without stress 

Can flirt with solitude and make it his Dulcinea 

In this expeditiously changing world one must adapt to the changes 

Otherwise life will be humdrum and 

monotonous 

Keep learning and indulge in mind refreshing activities 

Once one stops learning he starts dying 

 Body and soul must be kept agile and ready 

Not to argue or debate but to discuss and learn 

It’s a process one has to master to keep his quiver full 

Remember everyone has a constant unsolicited companion -death 

Remember birth is nothing but the beginning of death 

Some march slowly to death some others suddenly 

Eventually everyone succumbs in the end 

Death a very close one to an oldster 

But maybe a little far away to a youngster 

But death is stalking and ready to prance upon us 

Don’t panic go on your way do your business and don’t bother 

Before it comes you have miles to go and complete a lot 

Indulge in your journey with joy and happiness as a skylark 

The ultimate goal of life is to attain ataraxia

It needs a lot of tools like love compassion the ability to forget and forgive.
