A Change For The Worse

How people can change o'er the years! It looks so strange and much absurd; A tragic fact, reality, That causes pain much in one's heart. When people change just for the worse, They have no excuse good to give; With principles thrown in the wind, Selfishness rules their hearts and minds. The years of rearing vanishes And parents' struggles, sacrifice; Religious tenets are forgot; People behave in awful ways. Love for the neighbor seems so rare; Hatred afills most hearts of love; Coldness in attitude prevails; ‘They say they are now worldly-wise! ' Years of hard-work and harmony Is now a sad thing of the past; How families get so estranged! Each one can be so unfriendly. Friends have become worse than strangers; Relatives have become scattered; Some people known are worse than foes; The world has gone topsy-turvy! Welcome is change for better, good; But none can accept change for worse; It happens among kith and kin! The world has just gone upside down! Copyright by Dr John Celes 20-1-2016
