Take Me Back To Old Days Poem by Rose Kanana

Take Me Back To Old Days

Rating: 5.0


I long for the old days
Where we belonged to the society and the society belonged to all
I long for the old days where we smiled from the heart not from our teeth
I long for the days where communal activities brought us together as a society-no one felt alienated in a crowd

Take me back to the days of hearty laughs for heart conditions were less
Take me back to society parenting for family feud was less
Take me back to healthy eating for doctors had less stress
Take me back to the mainstream religions for i didn't have to worry about how big a seed i plant for a prayer
Take me back to the days where the human being was the center of life not the machine they drive or their wallets
Take me back to the old days where children swam in rivers and saw no physical or mental nudity
How i long for the beautiful old days!

Nostalgic i like the aspect of materialism you have brought out at the expense of the human person. I am falling in love with tour thematic poems.... 'Take me back to the days where the human being was the center of life not the machine they drive or their wallets'
