Baikuntha R. Acharya
They say I am in my golden years
Free from work responsibilities
But who knows what I am feeling
What I am suffering
Life, as said, is a roller coaster ride
With all the ups and downs
The late years may not be golden
It is only a misperception
Surrounded by people full of avarice
Showing phonygestures amorous
It is hard to pass the so-called golden years
Traveling upstairs and downstairs
Still, I feel the rat race
The stress in my face
The late years of life are not easy
Sometimes I think I have gone crazy
