POETRY : MEANT TO FADE AWAY

MEANT TO FADE AWAY…

There was a world free of care,

Where time didn’t fly, and people didn’t stare,

Where the meadows remained green,

Yes, there was a time; there had to be;

A time, somewhere in between.

When love not glitter, united brothers,

When there stood a helping hand,

At every street, at every bend,

To dust off all blues,

To be the human, the human god had sent!

The fields were endless, the greenery magnified,

Where we were rocked our lives’ cradle,

Yes there was a time; there had to be;

A time, simple yet mystified.

What we are now and what we were ages back,

What we could have been…

What lies today are just memories,

Now scrambled on paper,

We try and fail everyday to mend our lives astray,

Yes, there was a time; there had to be;

A time, meant to fade away.
