The Old Shops

A row of shops left abandoned
People fled to towns
Wooden planks left out of place
Slits and holes penetrated through 
Small ferns growing wild 
Deep inside hollow and dark 
A home shifted 
A broken shop remained
Everything has fell asleep 
Except the glory of the past
The history of the past
The bustling life of the past
And the mourning of the passersby
