This is the twenty-first century, dear friends,
Where there are emerging trends,
To demean a person's existence.
You can call people lazy,
You can call them fool.
You can ridicule people anytime,
Like beating a child with a ferule.
Well! That's not just a single tool
To break relational ties and look so cool.
Try ignoring relatives. Don't even give a call.
Block the number and freely roam in the mall.
Oh! Does that sound really harsh?
Then boast about your buildings and cars.
Look upon your relative with contempt and scorn,
Until from within, he is permanently torn.
I assure you he won't talk to you,
Accruing to your so-called brag.
If he still talks to you, then prove him
That for you he is nothing but a rag.
Nevertheless, you can always surreptitiously
Talk behind his back.
However, your tirade should never lack,
Bestial words wrapped in a silent smack.
Ha! That's what happens when relations are slack.
When meeting on certain occasions is imperative,
Just pass supercilious smirks.
Your relative will accept your attitude
As one of your little quirks.
Further, you can mock at his dressing style,
Adhering to your standard guile.
Be perpetual in doing this for a while.
At least you won't need to revile.
When he eats a morsel,
Pretend as if he has eaten a buffet.
Make him feel direful,
That's another trick to make your relations slowly decay.
When new relations can be made and broken
Within a few seconds play,
Then what's the harm in breaking those old ones?
Does it really matter anyway?
Be it maternal or paternal relations,
It hardly matters.
When relations are built upon a shaky base,
Each participant surely shatters.
I don't know what the twenty-second century
Has stored in for us.
Is it a boon or a curse?
Maybe it's just worse.
Perhaps killing will be lawful.
What can one say?
It's surely going to be awful.
To live happily forever,
"DON'T LET THE ADORABLE RELATIONS FADE AWAY".
