I remember

I remember when life was fair,
And karma was god of everywhere.
When girls only seek the comfort of a woo
From boys who memorized shallow lines, not to look the fool.

I remember how glorious it was getting a bicycle,
The village would chant your name and danced in cycle
And if you could sing to your lady or to the gods,
The ancestors would endowed your lips with love from ancient words

I remember when snakes where only venomous
and not thieves
Monkeys where never politicians; they stayed on trees.
Only yesterday, Cattle never had guns
And forest couldn't talk,
Now we run and die en-mass by bullets from their horns; underage girls taken as flock.

I'll remember when life will be fair
The forest will never to be king again.
Maybe then karma would breathe fear
Into the snakes, cattle and all their likes,
For depriving me of good fresh air.

Witty.
