Good Old Days Poem by Fadhy Mtanga

Where are those good old days,
When you were there,
Alive and strong?

Where are those plays,
That we played together,
And those good songs we sang?

Where are your promises,
To stand by me forever,
In summer and spring?

Life with you was promising,
And once I did let you know,
What a mess to leave me behind,
Alone and helplessly,

You never said good bye,
And didn’t want me there,
In last difficult times you ever had,
Like we always did to each other,

Do you member our dreams,
We said to live for and to achieve? ,
You secretly left them all to me,
And forgot our brotherhood,

Where are you dearest,
I’m completely down without you,
And life has turned upside down,
Like a beautiful cesspool you used to say!
