New homes for the old
Shifting the house may not relieve pain.
There is a lot to do with fair discussion
We are facing the gradual erosion of the bond.
Where is the bond between young and old?
Over ambitions killed the mutual relations.
The social fabric is under high pressures
And causing mutual destruction of generations
Which boast about precious cultures and traditions
Modern civilisation removed the old ones
Discarding the obvious morals, values and truths.
