What takes perhaps
Momentary lapses of time
To learn, adopt and
Make one's own-
Takes an aeon or beyond
To unlearn-
If at all it can be.
Most especially if one carries
The habit, the memory,
The potential
Deep within the cell memory-
Coursing in the vein;
Tunnelled through the
Umbilical cord-
Aeons, generations down.
Learning has always been easy.
And Unlearning just that, the greatest challenge.
Ever.

If only we had a 'delete' button to make our hardwares clean
All the unwanted things we can remove from our gene
and from all those undesirable habits,we oourselves can wean
Oh, once again a case of 'if only it had been....'
Always a case of "if only.." these days, aint it? :)
Thank you Govind, for that discerning comment-verse again!
So true.
