Good Times

Good times, who are you?
I hear you are a hyena
sleeping during the day in peace
hunting at night with torches
but disappear at dawn
when beggars are waking up

Good times where are you?
I hear you live with the powerful
confined in their wall fences
eating and feasting with them
but flee when your twin sister
hard times knock at the door
