GONE ARE THE DAYS
Gone are the days
When people believe
In the absolute
sovereignty of God;
Gone are the days,
When religious leaders
Spoke the bitter
truth;
Gone are the days
When they corrected
the ills
And sores of a
decadent society;
Gone are the days
When they won souls
For the most high God;
Gone are the days
When the royal
lineage fought
For the rights of
their community;
Gone are the days
When crowns loved
their proud hometown;
Gone are the days
When the elected put
interest
Of electorates first;
Gone are the days
When political
leaders used their various offices
To improve the
standard of living of the electorates;
Gone are the days
When politicians didn’t
price out
People’s conscience;
Gone are the days
When electorates
Didn’t exchange their
rights
For peanuts and
meager incentives;
Gone are the days
When electorates
Didn’t sell their
liberty power
And voting rights
When they took no
decisions
That could affect
their living standards;
Gone are the days
When the youths were
ready
To work for wealth,
Rather, they look for
short-cuts
Not bearing in mind
That there are no
short-cuts
To long-lasting
success;
Gone are the days
When girls protected
their virginity
When chastity was
valued
When nudity was
honoured;
Gone are the days
When the young
respected the elders
When disrespect was
punishable.
Why are things not in
order?
I did researches
I asked a million
question
From millions of
people
They all said
‘’THE END TIME IS
HERE’’
