Pathetic Parents
Brajeshwor Moirangthem *
Affection for the humankind
A great gift I first can't ask for
A country made of states
I again can't think of it.
Even my community comes next to my family
Family, family, my own family
Narrow minded or selfish?
Nay, the first and foremost service
Man should serve.
Almost rivers of my land
Flowing from Mountain downwards
Water walks the walk
Finding its own level.
Parents' love and affection for their wards
Eternal love if ever there was?
Universal law humans never deny;
Generous, for not in return
Obligation to the parents by some misfits
Some exceptions
I would rather quest -
The children's affection for their parents
For the cause of family,
For the society and humanity at large
Are families not the building blocks of society?
