Days of Old
How things were and could be again
Our ancestors dreamt, we have to carry on
They planted, we have to nurture growth
Our great grandparents had unrivalled virtues
Our values ail today, tomorrow has no promise
Our audacity and tenacity wavers
Our fore fathers lived healthily, sickness abounds now
Long fulfilled lives they enjoyed, ours, otherwise
Their telepathy with nature was superior
Our coordination now is pregnant with confusion
They had winds and waves of good will
We have earthquakes and tsunamis of ill-will
They had placid climates; climate patterns are angry now
So a farmer cannot depend on nature anymore
They understood the simplicity of life
We deem life too complex and
Refuse to learn, oh friendly the days of old.
