In The Old Man's Complaint Poem by Arvind Srivastava

In The Old Man's Complaint

The old man's complaint includes those talkative people who do not share their time with him!

In the news coming from the elderly,
cognizance has also been taken of those children
who ignore them when they see them
do not read the newspaper to them
do not care about them

These elderly were skilled runners of their time
who used to run blindly at the cost of their family
then they told time their place
they rode unruly horses
changed the direction of many rivers
broke the pride of the sea
resolved many crises and serious questions in a jiffy
they were the ones who showed the world by carrying them on their shoulders
they taught their children to walk for the first time

these elderly are out of the debate and concern of the country
they are not able to emerge as serious questions
talkative politicians also ignore them

complaints of these elderly include
broken frames of glasses pending for a long time
renewal of medicines getting over
broken slippers
spare money for grandchildren

these elderly complain that their children
are not able to solve their complaints They don't take notice of it
They don't care at all

While the children's eyes are fixed on the box
on which the old people sleep!
