The eternal Truths and ephemeral progress !

1. Twenty first Century
The young man teased the old sage,
Reputedly getting wiser with age:
Sir, even in twenty first century
You talk of Buddha, Socrates, Lao Tse,
When the world-view is actually shaped
By Motorola, Sony and Pepsi!
Said the sage affectionately:
Know this for sure dear Son,
When small things cause large shadows,
It is the period of setting Sun.
