The Last Good Days of Innocence

I can recall vivid memories of my life, which is beautifully woven & treasured in the locket of my heart: I can recall my school life where there were lots of fun & learning.. ~No disrespect for teachers & disobedience. I wish could travel back to school days possessing pure age of innocence.... I can recall my childhood days when there were no introduction of computer's and smart phones... ~No crimes due to social media. I can recall those times when there were lots of love among family members ... ~No issues of sibling rivalry and domestic violence. I can remember those times when people were caring for animals by being less selfish... ~No thoughts of encroachment,No business ideas. I can remember those wonderful days where family members sat together and chit-chatted face to face.. ~No influence of technologies. I can remember those days where we all played outdoor & indoor games with friends & families.. ~No passing time with strangers online. I can remember those days where we loved savouring delicious home made foods. ~No craze for fancy foods ,No complaints. I can reminisce those times where we listened to parents & elders with lots of patience. ~No hatred,No cross- questions,less arguments. I can reminisce those days where there were elated arranged marriages as well as love marriages. ~No conviction of extra-marital affairs & less cases of divorce. I reminisce those days when everyone felt to appreciate each other talents & skills. ~No discrimination ,No cunningness. I reminisce those days when people were empathizing without any expectations. ~No greed ,No fake perceptions. 2-5-2020 ~DEEPA~ *Pick-A-Title, Vol 16 - Free Verse 2 - Poetry Contest* Title chosen:The Last Good days of Innocence Sponsor-Edward Ibeh
