Time And We

On the carpet of time They are running like hare Fast and furiously With and without purpose Yet they are far from goals Distances of miles are menial Yet living within same house they are far Their dining table does not serve food anymore They sit together to read, watch, like and share On WhatsApp, Facebook, devices and TV. The joy of serving, the joy of passing and The joy of eating is far from taste buds Every year is consuming time fruitlessly Where needs and wants have increased The joy of enjoyment have decreased Personal meetings are replaced by video chats Hugging and shaking of hands are rituals now Birds have flown far away in search of bushes
