गरज काळची

Original Submission by Anuksha sakhare

‘गरज काळाची’

नव्या युगाच्या काळामध्ये,

ओरडून सांगतात पुन्हा-पुन्हा.

संस्कृतीला जपा आपुल्या,

मग बदलावेत हा काय आहे गुन्हा?

इतिहासाची जाण असेल तर,

आदर बाळगा मना-मनात.

पण आधुनिकतेला दोष का?

जर भिक्षु बनून न राहता वनात…

अभिमानाने छाती फुलती,

इतरांस ज्ञान सांगता-सांगता.

सुखकर झाले जरी जीवन,

लाभ घेऊनही वाईट म्हणता…

बरोबर आहे तुमचेही म्हणणे,

उगम विसरू नये चालता-चालता.

पण विकासाच्या या स्पर्धेमध्ये,

जमणार नाही न बदलता…

परिवर्तन हा नियम निसर्गाचा,

आठवणी जपाव्यात विकास करता-करता.

दोष नको गरजेला काळाच्या,

दृष्टिकोन बदलावा वर्तमान पाहता…
