the Old Man forgets

 

The Old Man

Words he uses today

He should recognize its pitfall

A man of his experience

He has forgotten its effect


On the audience reading it

It's the circle will return

An eye for an eye

Gandhi will say

We will all become blind”


The Old Man

The days of his glory

It has gone by his unchanged attitude

Now he can't command any respect

He brings it to himself

Though he will blame others for it


The master of his game

He has fallen on his bad times

The game he pursues is old way

We are living in the borderless world

We should change or be left behind


The Old Man

Sadly he doesn't see it

He thinks he is relevant today

He has to look at himself in the mirror

He will see his past glory has gone


Today the old method will not apply

Harping on race and religion and its effects

It will not bring glory to the nation or her people

The world will see us running backwards

Instead of working smart to face today and tomorrow


Sadly the Old Man

He should be kinder to himself

Reciprocate to help others who help him

Keep the promises and make it happens
