The Good Old Days
I lovingly remember the good old days
The golden years of my childhood days
When society was amiable and concerned
Where, simplicity and innocence prevailed.
Though there were people of all classes
It never came in the way of societal causes
People attended to their everyday chores
Carried on, their lives quietly, minus airs.
They followed all the rituals and services
According to their religious backgrounds
And everybody joined to enjoy the rituals
Showing rich diffusion of goodwill and cheer.
The moneyed also lived like commoners
Without any exhibition of their affluence
Quietly offered succour to the unfortunate
And the humble acknowledged with gratitude.
It was a well-knit society without cubicles
Where humans were not cut off by thin walls
Where peace and harmony reigned supreme
Which, I miss so badly in this modern time.
