POSTMAN

 

POSTMAN

The saga of human life fascinates me,
A decade passes, time modulates,
Fails imagination rustic alters,
Quiet village fields miss nature,
Teenage fantasy hook postman,
Never forgets wild run kids can,
Letter bundles in a khaki dress,
The occasion, the cycle moves,
Hot summer, rain, winter, spring,
Intoxicated village postman ring,
Far-off city elders live, work hard,
Village women seek fate's reward,
A letter, money order, telegram,
Never guess, telegram only warns,
Sick in city life, transfer or birth,
A remote village, a telegram worth
Lacks a telephone, travels long,
Postman n money order a song,
Mother looks eagerly at a few notes,
Holi is near, the festival crowd.
Desperate look for the postman to win,
Cry out loudly, family gather clean,
Nostalgic memory hunt in tears,
Tiny a letter brings joy and better,
College life village afar seek a post,
Joy and sorrow let the postman secure,
Young life, quit college, seeks a job,
Postman knocks run heartthrob,
Fountainhead of all dreams offers
Courier of good news entices pure,
In modern times, notice all the hair is gray,
Postman misses the telephone way.
Telephone vanish mobile bit hook,
Messages, money transfers, or books,
Book purchases house, vegetable,
Rustic life grew old, search simple,
Occasional sight postman delight,
A remote village, the news brings right,
Generation change urban life new,
Often visit the sweet village home view,
Electricity, motorcycle, bus, roads
Cement home, television, water fan,
Ecstatic look at a cycle calls postman,
Village bank savings, all, post office,
Home collection of savings practice,
Village bank at the doorstep with a loan,
Landlord perish no hand loan drown,
Enchants a khaki dress n cap smile,
A humble man serves people for miles,
Familiar face affection, grace timeless,
Reads open letters to the illiterate impress.
Life succeeds, self with name and fame,
The postman, whose name I never knew,
He has the age, people can call names,
A family job asset world can’t be the same.
