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
