this time then

This time then 110 years ago we were all prepared for war,?

That was the time when others were slaughtered and torn.?

Fastforward 4 years the gods above had slayed them all,?

Leaving those left suffering like cave men standing like a fool.?

They're scared and scarred,?

Their bodies left bloody and harmed.?

But yet there are people today crying and making a fuss about the unimportant treasures of it all.?

It happened again within this time then100 years we were all trapped indoors,?

No one to see with nothing to do ?

No where to go because we all had the 'Spanish flu',?

Knocked out 27% of my people.?

I mean I can't say it didn’t happen to,?

Because this time is when the curse of 20 created its first sequel flu.?

I suppose this time then wasn’t as bad since in the year 75 a dreaded war ends.?

Vietnam celebrate on the 30th April every year,?

When people found it was over it brought a tear.?

This time then was a celebrating moment for everyone who was re-united,?

It was a supportive battle for every one of the troops.?

Some left with tissue scars some left with PTSD but 75 will always be their year no matter what.?

This time now we have lived through threats of war,?

The mental health of others was destroyed and poor.?

We went through the destroys of towns and city,?

Since the authority wanted to be so bitty.?

This time now we have lived through another global pandemic, ?

'covid-19' is what it was called.?

Some were bored, some were soared, some left dead while others left poor.?

This was the 'time of the life' which is what id say.?

It gave people time to socialise less and think about themselves more?

Some people were left dead,?

 while some others were left uncared for.?

This time then might have been worse than this time now,?

But at least we all still have our vows.
