Untouched By Time

In a quiet corner of the world
  lies a village quite primitive
untouched by passing centuries
  folks at liberty to live

Stress-free, without the burdens
  of our frenzied society
No push to keep up with others
  no talk of drink or drugs, just sobriety

No superstores or sports coupes
  just rowboats and canoes
They hunt and fish for all their food
  ~ eat healthier than me or you
