In the Olden Days

In the Olden days when we wear grasses, When we dance naked under the rain, When we were cooking grasses as drug, When we have no fear in us and fear never Haunt us just like the way it does now. We were fine and good to go in the world. In the olde days when life was for the brave You marry as many wives as you want There was no trouble for our fathers but now When a man marries one wife he can't cope with her. We are lost and lost in the wood of life. In the olden days when mothers were wives, When girls were girls without dirty minds When wives were wives that never nag, I should've married then than now that we have men as women beating their husband at home. In the days of old, when motor was not invented, We were fine with horses and camels that never Had an accident like vehicles does now to us. Those days when we have no radio and television, The heads of our youths were at home to impact. In the olden days when we knew nothing, We were nothing and nothing knew us; We were good with throwing of arrows And killing animals for food but now, We are killed by the so called canned food. We played with girls without anything in mind, The elders removed their wrapper in front of us, We were never ashamed to walk in the street unclothed, yet we were fine and honest to nature. Plane never existed to kill us like wandering fowls, Technologies were not there to mare us to sin, We were just fine and cool with ourselves but Now, things have change and change to our own pain. A pregnant woman was not envious of a nursing mother because she knew her own time shall come. And a widower should not be jealous of married Ones because he has the power to remarry any time. We live like one family and we seek the faceof the gods, religion was never the problem but now it is. We shall soon see where this new dawn is going to.
