Ageing
No one can see the pain And the eyes that rain We become blind And don't bother to find The person behind The grey hair and wrinkled eyes Who has seen the world and boundless skies We see only the age That has put them in a cage Who are not treated like a sage Just because they don't have a wage Whom you want to put away So that you can enjoy your day The ones who have a way To every problem you may lay Who showed you a ray And became a toy for you to play Shame on the child who lets Crystals slip out of those eyes Which have never said lies Who fought for you brave And now you guide them to their grave Who are mocked to be light But are very bright Why you say, an old man decay No one can see the pain And the eyes that rain. - Chanchal Bagla
