Pijush Kanti Deb- A Poem

The Generation Gap 

 

Benevolent arguments-
delivered by old tongues
deserve unfortunately a prompt rejection
and automatic flowing down to the floor
from the cavities of the new ears,
as these don’t hold water
to the eyes-
just opened in a fresh morning
brought about by an innovative sunshine
to witness one another
as shameless
to have an axe to grind always
and as careless
to the feelings of the old hearts.
‘’Mind your own business’’
the sharp sound wave pierces
the old tongues
habituated to have a finger in their pie,
whether fresh or rotten
holding their heads high
the fresh  hearts
hold their pie good and have the cheek
to show the burnt eyes a white pigeon
nesting in the gap
existed
between the new and the old hearts
termed and nurtured of late
as the generation gap
to make many brimful hearts totally vacant .
