That Was Then, This Is Now
That was then when we
studied using pen -paper,
practiced handwriting.
consulted dictionary,
committed to memory.
This is now when kids
are used to handle computer,
have no idea
of of mental calculation
Google gives each solution,
That was then happened
Eager to hear voice of
of most beloved,
depending on your land phone,
or to wait for love letter.
This is now , we see :
Mobile is always at hand.
No need for waiting.
Communication easy.
Also Break up is ready.
That was then when we
blindly obeyed our parents,
cared for seniors .
Learned to give priority
to both family and friends.
This is now just clear
New generations holding
' Don't care' attitude .
' My life is mine' being the
motto of life all along.
That was then when to
respect the moral values
as universal.
Plain living and high thinking
accepted as ideal.
This is now when we
wish to float in luxury.
Only to compete.
Malice but no sacrifice.
High living and plain thinking.
