The Generations - Then And Now

Child is the father of a man 

It has been accepted

Down all ages, down all generations

A child is born

He sees the first light of the day

First look at the earth, sun and moon

First Sunshine and Darkness

Senses First Hunger and Thirst

And starts biological evolution

He starts crawling and walking

Learns alphabets and meaning 

Then goes for schooling and 

Process of standing on his own 

And finally he grows up one day 

He starts a new life and have progeny of his own 

Years after, the parents grow old

Like child they now need care and more

When joint family was the norm

They continued as integral part of the family then

Today’s Generation is a generation in hurry

No time to sit back and carry forward the heritage

And here comes the concept of an Old Age Home

For each problem, we have a quick fix solution 

There was a time

When a son went to forests relinquishing the throne

For fourteen prime years

With all pleasure of a dutiful son

For Gennext with individualism at the core of essence

This can never occur 

Even in figment of imagination in Generation today

Times Change, Values Change

And Generations move on
