A stable satisfaction in
jobs, they did feel
Though sometimes their
masters with them strictly deal
They were frank, free and
kind with mercy profound
People never changed
their professions oft
For petty profits; a
close intimacy they got
In difficult times,
enough support they sought
People came to their
rescue and helped them a lot.
2. Friendship is not just a spoken word
easy to win
It meant mutual help and
close bonds sweet
Ever staying close at one
place made them treat
One another as their own
kith and kin;
Strong security and trust
they ever had
Free frank dealings made
them feel safe and glad.
They never thought of
losing their relations close
A happy carefree
existence with others they chose.
3. To them marriage is a lifelong sacred
commitment
One can’t change partners
often, as often as they desire
A holy oath taken as they
move around sacred fire
Reckless passions their
relationships did not dent;
Life taught them mutual
trust and adjustment.
In compromise they found
true contentment
Hasty decisions though
seem to be fair
They damage our relations
and lives, beyond repair.
4. Our relationships once fostered joy
and trust
Not based on status and
materialistic greed
Not based on status and
selfish needs
Not scattered apart like
leaves by stormy gust.
Staying closer nourished
and flourished their ties.
Without communion, our
relationship, dormant dies.
We even tend to forget
their whereabouts and names
We lead isolated lives,
static and same.
5. Far away from our native place
We lost touch with our
town traditions, kith and kin
We live in congested
cells filled with pollution and din
We got used to rushing
schedule and ways;
Imitating others we
changed our living style;
We pretend to be at ease with
plastic smiles
Aspiring to earn more
wealth to meet our needs
Losing touch with our roots, a costly life we lead.
6. Once we used to go outside to meet
men
We interacted with them
and tried to realize
The ways of the world and
take advice wise
But now sitting at home
we can get works quickly done
Depending on gadgets and
digital tools swift
We acknowledge these
gadgets as a God-given gift;
We have become too lazy
to develop our skills
Except slaving for wealth
our worldly needs to fulfill.
7. We should not let our skills dormant
die in vain
We should keep a tab on
indiscriminate use
Of these tools; for cyber
crimes we should not choose;
Machines should not
become monsters for material gain
Depriving men of their
caliber and creative skills
Social welfare is prime
the essence of human will
Let us not alienate
ourselves but try to blend
Human values with modern
technological trend.
8. Look for and renovate the missing
links
Look for true peace and
make peace with all
Look for the reasons for
man’s moral downfall
With jealousy and revenge our conscience shrinks
Forgive all and maintain harmony and goodwill
Make your life meaningful and your goal fulfill
Build up bridges of
understanding with broader mind
Make others happy and be
liberal and kind.

9. Once we used to meet persons often
Not depending on digital
transactions swift
We acknowledge tools as a
God-given gift
We sit idle and get our
works easily done
Too much use of machines
kept us away to realize
No interaction with
others and take their advice wise.
We have become too lazy
to develop our skills
Except slaving for wealth
our needs to fulfill.
10. We should not let our skills dormant
and die
We keep a tab on machines
and aptly choose
For cybercrimes, machines
we should not use
Let us not isolate
ourselves but should try
Humane methods and means
let us revive again
Machines should not be
monsters for material gain.
Depriving men of their
caliber and creative skills
Social welfare should be
the essence of human will.
