With Time, History Repeats Itself!

With time, Relatives drift apart Loved ones become unloved Ones held in great esteem turn unwanted Blood turns thinner than water New walls of ego and prestige arise Misunderstandings become stronger Differences reinforce and multiply Selfishness draws smaller circles Love and affection vanish Childhood years of togetherness disappear Pedigree chart becomes complex Newer friends and relatives emerge Old traditions and cultural values dissolve Life plays a cruel game amongst blood relatives Brothers and sisters become strangers Kith and kin refuse to revere the elderly The world of love turns into one of inertness One wonders whether life is really worth living! But these are the sad realities of earthly life All must undergo the stages and phases There is no escape for anyone Righteousness and principles get scorned None can change the other History repeats itself!
