Poem about Friendship

THAMIZHANBAN’S POEM ABOUT FRIENDSHIP
Today (5th August) is celebrated as Friendship Day throughout the world.
Friendship can not be restricted to a single day good friendship will always be actively interacting 365 days and Twenty-four hours. We are living in a consumerist age. Nobody finds time to maintain friendship because of the busy metro life.Thamizhanban points out this in one of his poems.
Hi Sethu!
Where were you all these days?
Oh! Route number 24 is coming
Let us see later!

Here while seeing a bosom friend, the man also happens to notice the arrival of a city bus.
Now there comes a dilemma in his mind.
Now he has got an opportunity to meet his old friend. He has also got another rare opportunity to travel in the city bus, which is not easily available.
What to do?
He is weighing the two opportunities now in his mind.
Now he takes a decision.
He has decided to forego the chance of spending some time with his bosom friend.
He wishes to catch hod of the city bus and ignore the meeting of an old friend.
This mini poem portrays the dilemma that occurred and the decision that has been taken.
The friendship is not given the due respect.
Why the man decides to ignore the friendship?
In metro life non-availability of the city buses is also a hazard.
Here the person has got the proper city bus.
He decides to avoid the friend to get the city bus.
The stressful metro life, distractions in family life make everybody to indulge in the busy routine without minding to cherish the values.
By this poem the poet advises us to cherish values and make the life a more livelier one.
