Remember the Time

a poem by Priya Kalyan

Remember the time
When the streets were filled –
With sweet smelling hay;
Now there is – only the dust of the day.

Remember the time
When the streets were filled-
With children playing around;
Now, with the traffic, they are bound.

Remember the time
When the streets were filled-
With us, people merrily talking;
Now we don’t have time even for walking.

Remember the time
When we used to rule-
Things have changed;
Now Time rules us.
