New Things Turn Obsolete Very Soon.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan
New Things Turn Obsolete Very Soon....
Just like all other new things
they change over time, our hearts perish
nothing is as changeable as the world itself
first a sea of flowers, now a rotten flower stench
old people imprisoned and plugged in retirement homes
as a thank you for their perfect upbringing and the caring loving years
with new shoes we first walk in blisters
gather the right advice and wisdom through our dear parenting
to be told that they are just hiding old people in old people's homes
they still have to explain to me till the smallest details
note, who had done that? They're still from my own years age!
shameful, I hope that's not true!
