Decades have passed.

The world has changed,

along with its people.

 

It no longer brings joy to my heart,

as it did in my time.

All because of them.

 

What happened to the days,

when the only thing one could do during a lovely day

was to step out the front door and pamper one's self

with the five senses that Mother Nature had provided?

 

But now so much power against her

has made that go to waste.

 

All because of the many virtual worlds -

invented in these tiny boxes -

people claim that they have more to them,

and it happens without leaving one's cubbyhole.

 

But only in a matter of minutes,

before your organs start to shut down -

one by one -

until you no longer connect with 'reality'.

 

I'm not sure how anybody can survive here,

the world is not the same anymore,

with people so ill-mannered.

 

And not to care about our planet

that was indeed 'precious and blessed'. 

It's now a living hell, and there is

no escape from all its demons.
