It was the time of kings,
When there weren't many a thing,
A life full of joy and peace,
Every reason to feel at ease!
Today, the days of democracy,
Where life is getting crazy,
Many a people in the race,
To run the country through a maze!
In the darbar, subjects and ministers,
Many a talks, but none sinister,
A clear solution fell in place,
There was a feeling of solace!
Today, a mess of all sorts,
Leading a life full of torts,
Everyone fighting for fame,
But none to share the blame!
Those were the days,
When law had its say,
Morals and values formed the core,
People followed it without a sore!
Today, people have no time,
Anything other than a dime is a crime,
Morals and values today a sore,
Dime, dime and dime form the core!
True values have lost its meaning,
It is upto us to relive the feelings,
Of honesty, trust and mutual respect
Before it is wiped out; the last speck;
Face is the index of the mind and the mind is always preoccupied with thoughts

Today!
In deep retrospection or rather introspection, I had a flurry of thoughts hitting me. This was just the right time to translate my thoughts to words!
