Back in the Days

When men were boys
When the boys were foetuses,
There was peace!

When ladies were girls
When girls were just pregnancies,
There was abundance!

Peace in abundance
Food in excess
Life was gay
Sadness was rare
Tear were absent
Except from children
Who were Oliver Twist!
Life was simply sweet
When men were boys
And women, girls!

Now,
Boy are men
And girls are women!
Foetuses are girls
And pregnancies are boys!
Life has turned
And now is on its head
We all can't lay
On our bed!
Things have become
Anything but easy!
The land is very tired
Despite all her softness,
She gives birth
To little or nothing!
Tears flow freely
Not from wanting more
But from having none!
Happiness is rare!
Everybody is looking bush!
No one sends the other!
War is now the way to peace
Peace that is non existent!
Perverts everywhere,
Guys running after guys
Ladies want to marry ladies!
What an irony!
Life is simply filled with bile
Now that children are adults
And pregnancies, children!

How I wish
That life can back track
To when the boys were foetuses
And the women were girls!
Cos now,
It seems so hopeless
That a smile
Costs so much to be bought!
