There is a group of people, <br />Gather after much persuasion, <br />The faces are not yet fierce, <br />But unpredictable, <br />When one starts to speak, <br />Another interrupts, <br />Justify the doing with the past facts, <br />Before going to the next sentences, <br />A mini squabble is heard, <br />Flaring of fiery words, <br />To torch the hearts, <br />Pouring of volcanic lava, <br />To burn down the emotions, <br />Everyone thinks that they are right, <br />And believe that they work hard, <br />Not received the due appreciation, <br />The heads of these family units, <br />Have lost their voice, <br />Once their children have started to earn, <br />No peace is found when they gather for a while, <br />As everyone distance themselves from one another, <br />The friends of face book are more important, <br />Than the old people who sit in front, <br />Many things can be shared, <br />To make another to be respected and rejoiced, <br />When the hearts are locked with tough passwords, <br />It is very hard for the owner to deliver the message, <br />Of that they love their simple parents, <br />Who want the love from their loving children, <br />As the parents don’t have no one else to call their own, <br />Except the children they reared through hardship.<br /><br />veeraiyah subbulakshmi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/family-gathering-in-recent-times/
