Emily Dickinson wrote: Tell the truth but tell it slantly. It means –exposing

truth, is like looking at the sun, and must be done indirectly, or it can cause blindness. Mr. Thampi Antony’s poem tell the truth but tell it slantly. The poet states that the old age days are golden days which are going to come and will come but ..?   Golden age denotes a period of peace, harmony and prosperity.  During that period humans need not work to feed themselves as the earth provided it. Now think about the word poet used: Golden days.  And what he describes as a sequel to that expression. Good poem, Congratulations to you poet!
