It Was Like Yesterday
If only Adam and Eve were still here
There 'd be no need pondering over it indeed
One will die whether you 're afraid or intrepid
No matter how long we live grey hair
Leaving wombs for graves is the whole idea
The old dying is no misdeed
Memories of past of this old woman are vivid
Her grey hair hugs obituary,all humans' affair
It's still like yesterday regardless of longevity
In the mirror,she smiled at her wrinkles
She sees all what did years back in memory
As if they happened fast in few eye twinkles
Rest in peace is written all over face already
Shortly,yesterday's nephews are now uncles
