Missing those days

I miss those days;

when the market place;

was a place of information 

a place where matters ;

are discussed 

The market place;

A place where currency of money;

are exchanged ;

and also news are exchanged 

everyone looking happy;

waving everyone innocently 

different commodities;

one spirit 

a place of love

 

Missing those days;

when dignity were valued;

where body was priceless

a time where body was not bought;

now body is a commodity;

been bought cheap

Virginity now a laughing stock;

 Morals abandoned;

 evil encouraged  

 Normal things now anti-normal

 body covered to serve kings;

now body opened becoming slaves

Our body, a source of pride

 

 Missing those days;

where they gather children;

listening to stories;

stories of wisdom 

wisdom that teaches a lesson ;

parables and proverbs;

that directs

They say ;

wisdom is applicable to direct

those where our forefathers 

men and women of wisdom ;

Solomon of those days

Africa folktales was fun to children ;

but now boring to our generation 

instead English borrowed stories

they enjoy reading 

I miss those days 

Do you miss those days?

Tell me what you miss?
