Change is a Natural Phenomenon

From the days of black and white
To the colored days of today
From feathered writing pens
To the fine point ball points
From handwritten documents
To printed papers
The time machine has traveled
From one era to the other
Leaving the yester years in the past
Taking few lessons ahead
Some left for the lessons of history
Yet others are mythical characters

From Ten Commandments to New Testament
From old scriptures to new chapters
From ancestors to new generation
From walking to flying machines
From pigeon deliveries to postal services
From barter system to plastic money
From slavery to freedom
From the times of stage plays
To movies on big screens
The time has changed its wardrobe
With changing seasons years after years
Bringing the new leaving the old behind
Some values distorted
Some given new meaning
Few others left in the past
Yet others are created

From yesterday to today
From past to the present
Waiting for the present to enter future
What more changes would come to be?
Change is a natural phenomenon
So has been said over and over again
Let the go fly far away
Making way for sunny days
After every darkest night
Comes the morning so bright
If change is so good
Then why we have not seen peace?
Why we face Mother Nature’s fury
With storms, tornados and mud slums
Washing away our lands?
Racism is no 5k race
Terrorism is all over the place
Churches have divided Gods
Religion has been painted
The very reason for the violence

From the times of feathered pens
To writings of fine ball points
What have we become?
What we left behind?
Where we are to move ahead?
Devoid our future generations
Of our ancestral history
Cultural values have been twisted
What do we have our children’ inheritance?
Connection wires disconnected between humans
Animals are leading the way
Showing us the humility with system of family

From the times of stage plays
To the big high definition screens
What future holds for us?
Have we learnt from the past?
Or is history going to be repeated?
Have we lost ourselves completely?
Are we ever going to find our way back home?
What ever we do
Where ever we go
Will we find our destination?
But what is our destination?
….little we know and lot more we ignore
….convenience is all we seek
….perseverance is not a friend
….humility has been pushed by arrogance
….selfless acts are picked by known fish, selfish
….love is nothing but a plan
….marriage is no union of souls but a marketable contract
….everything is all about I, me & myself
….rest of the world can go to hell is the attitude
….respect is deleted from vocabulary
….dignity is nowhere found
….honesty is just out of the door
….communication disconnected for life
….time constraint for friends and family
….money makes the world go round
….as we are running
….from whom or where to is unknown

From pigeons to flying machines
From pens to computers
From love so pure to marriage contracts
What have we become?
What are we to do?
Change is a natural phenomenon
A fact that’s known
But how far would we go, is the question
Do we have the answer?
Or once again, just ignore to address the question?
