Then vs Now

By Vishavdeep Shukla

Remember when we were young,

Our eyes were dreamy.

World was full of opportunities,

Even though there was no money,

We were without worries.

We laughed at silly things,

Now we all do is over think.

When we fell we learned to stand up,

Now we are all beat up,

Not having courage to act up.

Every one is running behind money,

And have become phony and unfunny.

Hustling is the new norm,

Like a competition of tussling.

We have forgotten who we are,

And act like we are always on war.
