Golden V.S Modern Poem by Abdul-Qadir Abdul-Mumin

Golden v.s Modern

I remember when mother earth was young
Then, my great great grandfather's were born
They used to stay and live very long
Because their hearts were pure as a golden crown

Their heads were free and filled with wisdom
Their days were peaceful and free from fear
Because no evil doers were snatching their freedom
Their hearts were pure and clair and fair

I remember when kids accepted gifts from strangers
Now, their not even supposed to talk to them
Because when they do, it endangers
Their lives that is expensive than the greatest gem

Now, strangers are not to be trusted
Because of the evil doings of few people
In reality, few strangers are to be trusted
Because many are evil and few are good people

I sometimes wish today was yesterday
But a wise one told me to focus on today
He said 'make today a better day
And make make tomorrow a better today

The olden days were golden
Yet, we call these sad days modern
When almost everything is forbidden
Evil, from morning to evening

Let's go back to the days when no one was afraid
Of thieves, so their fences were short
Their doors were always left unlocked
And yet, they lived in peace and comfort

I sometimes wish I was in the past
But I hope for a better future
I hope it comes soon and fast
For I fear we are in danger
