Why Can’t The Old World Live Forever

By Paul McCann

 

I’m thinking of the travelling people who were known as tinkers,

sure they could fix up many things for you .

It’s hard when the world around us changes and the new world rearranges ,

all the things we used to do .

 

I’m thinking about an aging population

who have lost communication with the friends they had .

It’s sad when life get’s lost in confusion

and it becomes an illusion in a new world that’s gone mad

 

Why can’t the old world just live forever

and wouldn’t it be brilliant if life could always be that way.

Too many people making too many change’s for tomorrow ,

loosing themselves in the world today.

 

I’m thinking about all the love that’s needed

to make the world a better place for everyone today.

If only people would not be so greedy

and help the needy people then this world would be ok .

Hear! Hear! Paul,

I'm with you all the way. I hate how life is changing so fast, you don't have a chance to get used to one thing, before it's changing again and again.

I'm a person who takes a while to get to know something, but once found I'm happy. Life was so much easier when I was younger. I suppose it's my age, but other older people seem to cope. Just wish we could go back to the older ways. 

A thought provoking poem indeed.

Jenny.
