This mega office complex,
Bustling with vivacious youth,
Will get replaced as years pass,
By a fat aging populace.
Bustling with vivacious youth,
Will get replaced as years pass,
By a fat aging populace.
This mega food plaza,
Serves junk @ exorbitant rates,
With these young lavish executives,
Busily, happily, lappin' up every bit!
Yes, I can see the impending onslaught,
Of fierce lifestyle diseases,
Coming to envelop our vibrant shores,
A' la' tsunami waves!

I can see the singletons disappear,
In the bliss of wedlock;
I can hear the colour changing,
Of animated conversations!
From about 'boyfriends', 'nagging moms',
'Hip bars 'n' parties', new 'weekend getaways';
To about 'husbands', 'in-laws',
'Cooking', 'holiday plans in exotic locales';
And then about 'maids' & 'kids'- their 'tantrums',
About 'bigger cars'; 'super-luxury homes'; 'smarter gadgets'.
All in the 'piling money' race,
All stuck in the metro pace.
All stuck in the metro pace.
Then one day they become old,
They momentarily slow down,
And wonder- "Did LIFE just pass...
Before our very own eyes...??"
Very true. Aptly summed up. But, is our populace intelligent enough like u & me to 'see the impending onslaught' & keep lifestyle diseases at bay?
