The Modern Kid

Born abroad and growing strong
Away from home and motherland
Growing in cosy environs
Pampered by parents, neglected

Loner lost amidst high-tech toys
Craving for love and tender care
Glued to the idiot-box, web-world
Autistic and having own ways

Throwing temper-tantrums for things
Reckless, careless and mischievous
Aping adults, taking all risks
Eating fast foods with fashion fads.
