Kedar's Log, Stardate 2010

I wrote this somewhere in 1990 – 1992..

When you were just born..
a few minutes back,
They say, there’s a newborn
and they clap.

A day after that..
they look at you,
And say, he is a day old
and not new!

Strange are the ways of this world..
that make you grow fast,
Every second that ticks away
pushes you into the past.

That somewhere along the way..
you learned how to walk,
And pretty soon you are running
all around the clock.

Once you never bothered..
even to change your nappy!
And soon you start worrying
just to stay happy!

It’s no more your right..
to get everything you want,
YOU have to pay for it all,
even if sometimes you can’t.

There is no one ..
more responsible for you,
but you..

Hey, you are on your own…!
