Loneliness among elderly...
A prevalent concern,
as society is progressing,
towards an aging population.
No support of joint family,
confined within the houses,
for, modernity has limited...
Both space and their mind.
We all need a purpose,
to keep ourselves going,
life's struggles are enough,
to break a weakened body.
So, they sought the refuge,
to keep themselves occupied,
in spirituality or religious activities,
or domestic concerns of families.
Village life gave them respite,
too much of opportunities,
tending to garden, or animals,
simple interactions with community.
Cities have broken that bond,
everyone is on a rush,
living within the four walls,
sometimes alone, no one accompanies.
Families become distant,
as the health deteriorates,
a once strong sense of life,
is lost, in the hurt of indifference.
