Who Trouble Chooses?
In this modern world
Trouble doesn’t trouble me anymore
I’ve seen it come and go
What worries me is it’s frequency
has increased manifold
Why me? I implore
It winks at me, tells me
You haven’t grown up
Can’t you see
People drink falsities and pretence and slurp
They learn
And trouble thinks twice before
Knocking at their door
Learn the modern art of living
Stop complaining
To learn or unlearn
This paradox is droll
While the world claims to be on a roll
In a flash, friends turn foes
Cancel culture glows
Vanity and excess in vogue
Climate change crying hoarse
World busy fighting, coming to blows
What do I know
I must be growing old
