Gone Were Those Days Poem by Kctony Xtopher Nkwocha

Far spent into the new days…
Long gone were those early years,
When things moved as they were thought to do.
Gone were those days,
When the main ethics of medical profession
Is to save and perpetuate life.
What’s their ethics these days?
You know better than I.
The legal profession?
Gone were those days they fought
To uphold the cause of justice
And free the guiltless.
Gone were those days,
When the nurses’ uniform
Signified warmth gentleness and care.
Gone were those days,
When clothes were meant to cover nakedness.
Today, they are used to design nakedness.
Certainly, gone are those days,
When days are counted in days
Now, we count twenty-four hourly.
Does it matter?
If those days are gone?
Not at all, for soon we will be gone.
Then, with us our present day.
