The older times have passed, As if they were nothing, Locked away only in albums and tapes, Slowly degrading the golden nostalgia, Which very few tend to remember. “Time and tide waits for none”, The world says it aloud, The new generation passing it on, Rigorously running along the present, To desperately meet the future. No one is ready to wait and hear, In a globe full of hustles, The only things remained are bustles, Where only the called ‘wit’ prevails, Leaving the innocence in fails. The new generation is flying, Not with colours but with layers, Each containing numerous dilemmas, Not all black and not all white, But a mysterious grey. ‘Kindness’ and ‘goodness’ are left, Just as mere words, No one ready to understand, The true significance in modern era, Even making the stones think where to sink. The world has become utterly ferocious, Where no one is safe, True loyalty is just kept in movies, Toxicity maximising its range, Taking humanity to its very end. This new custom is strange, Loneliness reaching its peak, No one to accept or adjust anything, Except the thing to follow the regime, Laid forth by the very human beings. Acceptance has become mind bogglingly rare. Dear new ones hearing me, Society is never ready for you, You have to be ready for it, Because it’s once and for all, Be yourself, as you are !

A New Custom
The older times have passed, As if they were nothing, Locked away only in albums and tapes, Slowly degrading the golden nostalgia, Which very few tend to remember. “Time and tide waits for none”, The world says it aloud, The new generation passing it on, Rigorously running along the present, To desperately meet the future. No one is ready to wait and hear, In a globe full of hustles, The only things remained are bustles, Where only the called ‘wit’ prevails, Leaving the innocence in fails. The new generation is flying, Not with colours but with layers, Each containing numerous dilemmas, Not all black and not all white, But a mysterious grey. ‘Kindness’ and ‘goodness’ are left, Just as mere words, No one ready to understand, The true significance in modern era, Even making the stones think where to sink. The world has become utterly ferocious, Where no one is safe, True loyalty is just kept in movies, Toxicity maximising its range, Taking humanity to its very end. This new custom is strange, Loneliness reaching its peak, No one to accept or adjust anything, Except the thing to follow the regime, Laid forth by the very human beings. Acceptance has become mind bogglingly rare. Dear new ones hearing me, Society is never ready for you, You have to be ready for it, Because it’s once and for all, Be yourself, as you are !
