Pangs of Neglect

Loneliness

Have a look into the future

Far from the human eyes,

You will see a miserable picture.

Which you have ever been imagined in life!

You are young, have strong power to hit boundary

You hold a government service with fat salary.

You have social status in society

You deserve high respect from all community.

You have only one son, a promising star

He is a brilliant student with energetic nature.

Naturally you want to give him a higher education

As other fathers of the society do the same.

He proves well from school premises to the campus of IIT

And finally holds a service in foreign city.

He leaves you in the lurch for his career

And puts down his steps in foreign country forever.

Nature comes and goes as per law of universe

Seasons change its colour for the years.

So your skin looses and your face wrinkles.

Becomes an old haggard and to face terrible weakness

Now nobody around you to look after

Your life partner also loses her working power.

Your well-established son has no time to come here

Even he doesn't want to have you to stay there.

Now what will be your future? Look at the old age home

Loneliness is only a non-established son.

Hello poor father! Are you in a dream?

Yes, I was dipped into the future for a while.

I learnt a lesson from today

Being a father, I will not be ready to pay.

Never expect a high expectation

Little dreams and little hopes are best option.

Hopeless fathers live there (old age home), it's a great tragedy

Their established son have left them in a condition of shoddy.

It's not a irony of fate

It's an act of foolishness bet.
