Lifestyle

Life has changed
His kith and kin have gone away
He is alone celebrating old age
The memories and lessons recalled
The petals of life collected and treasured
Handing the key to grandkids
He waits patiently
Someday they would need it
He keeps waiting
The seasons change
The globe gets hot quickly
Working pattern changes 
The factory excreta kills earth
The world changes 
Men are sinking in luxuries
Televisions and mobiles are in plenty
Seeds and food are getting scarce
Farmers are dying
The seedless fruits gets dumbed in womb
The plastics encompass the earths womb
Still our ancestor waits
With the key to the treasure -
Traditional lifestyle

AUTHOR WILLIAMS...

Honorable Poetess Shalini Samuel,

Thought provoking write, thanks for sharing, my applause, my vote, I love the below lines

Televisions and mobiles are in plenty
Seeds and food are getting scarce
Farmers are dying
The seedless fruits gets dumbed in womb
The plastics encompass the earths womb
Still our ancestor waits
With the key to the treasure -
Traditional lifestyle

I wish to reserve this poem for a translation to Malayalam language

Regards
