The Old Well

The tap has replaced the well Wealth has replaced poverty The present has replaced the past Everything comes and goes Thr children have grown up And the parents were gone Yesterday a chicken fell into the well Flapping the wings vigorously And a bucket was dropped For the rescue Now we fell into the many traps of a city Get tangled, struggling hard to get loose But left to be helpless The bucket of rescue is no where to be seen It has gone and disappeared Together with the old well
