GONE AWAY
As I walk through the
walk way
I observed the
environment and looked closely
I see Oceans of people
moving like surging sea come and go
As I Watched with keen
interest
Streams of different
peoples, characters and colours pass through my
sight
Different characters
and mannerisms I see in their faces
In wonder and surprise
I see before me despondence,
Scorn, sorrow, greed,
avarice, corruption which are celebrated
Gone away are the good
norms
Nakedness celebrated
as fashion
Society frown no more,
but promoting laxity
Garden of Eden came to
my mind
And I said lead me not
into temptation
Gone away is the
precious smile of humanity
Joy and happiness have
departed our souls
Our decadence we
mirror unseeing and unconcerned
There seems to be
progress for some but not for many
Realization of how low
man has fallen is unseen
Time is running out
Where are we going and
for how long
For the few who can
still see
The obvious is there.
