In A Single Decade

In a single decade I wrote this today I was feeling this way I am saddened I am hardened In a single decade Millions of laws have been made In a single decade Trillions of chickens have been laid In a single decade So many farewells have been bade In a single decade Trillion of salaries have been paid In a single decade Have you ever seen a mermaid? In a single decade You walk around places still afraid We witness the joys of bridesmaids And experience the light and its shade While the farmers no longer need hoes and spades There is a technological blockade as human values degrade In a single decade Have we made progress as a human race? We still have to tie our shoe lace And walk around with a slow or fast pace We have still not learnt to fly But for real, we still continue to cry! Copyright 2019 - Lovina Sylvia Chidi
