The Old And The New..! Poem by Vidya Pandarinath

To search for the' self ' in any bearing,
And in everything is but human daring;
Games replaced the fights and the war;
Evils transformed into talents, found the star
Debate and conference took a high place,
And added knowledge and peace to grace;
Celebrations are choice moments called back
To meld the little pleasure with the glum stack
Today merges with the past for the morrow,
As hope does with the sore, suffered sorrow;
The essence of the bitter is but of sour finish
Which oddly adds delicacy to any stray dish;
Just as a failure or a wound leaves a mark,
In future to measure success and to embark,
The old prepares the path for the eager new;
All tactics exact the vigour for the chased due
Yet it is the stance which purports the content And sends cheer -signs to the mind all spent
Life in all it's forms loiters within the domain
Of Time which moves by the Fate- set chain.
