The Old Days Poem by Jesus Diaz Llorico

'They say the old days are better
I think so too
but hard to communicate
I know this is true
and it does not make it any better
for the hearts and minds
of people of today and yesterday
has not changed at all
it's only the gadgets and technology
that altered the lifestyle of people

before we always feel the mild summers
all the perfect sunshine days
the rain in its endless drizzling
that it was such a glorious feeling
especially if you're with friends strolling
I used to walked to my friends house
have a nice conversation
the whole afternoon
and sometimes we drink
until we see the stagger of the moon
nowadays, people just go straight home
with their high tech cellphones
stayed in their rooms
and open their internet all night long

now my days are part of history
those happy times in life
where moments are shared
reflected and for me so sacred
and with the sunset
slowly creeping in the window of my flat
it's time to prepare for my dinner
go out, take my nightly walk
and dream of the moon and wandering stars
for life will changed again if I am gone.'
