Behind the times

Behind the times

I was far, far behind the times,
while the busy humanity, barring a few,
was much ahead of the times,
I was far behind the times,
Solely minding my work,
cooking cleaning and washing
reading and writing, brushing
many cobwebs that intrude walls,
unaware I was frog in the well,
the ones who care for others’ problems
were much ahead of their times,
aiming the poisoned slings and arrows
to dizzy heights, not sparing even
the gods and God sent,
I was far behind the times,
ever to write my cogitations,
those were far ahead of their times
to read in between the lines,
I was far, far behind the times.
