Poetic Verses

The Light

Who could remember those days when it was the moonlight?
Was the only light that illuminated the surrounding seasonally at nights?
It was such a joy as children that in those moments we would not delay
Running around in its golden light as we would certainly romp and play

How we enjoyed that night breeze and sometimes felt that dew
And that light made the flowers display their petals with their brilliant hue
The lovers too will take that opportunity to have that hand in hand walk too
Ending up by the lovely water of that lake perhaps doing those things lovers do

Then times moves on there was an event that was something of a spectacle
That occasion dwelled in my mind and certainly left a mark so indelible
How the people in the village gathered in the street and waited expectantly
There were cheers very joyfully as the streets became lighted so brightly

Now the streets formerly so dark are now so very brightly lighted
The moonlight when it comes seems not to be any longer that highly regarded
Now the children could play for long hour s in the night with little fear
Some even take the opportunity for using the bright light that homework prepare

Alas a now and different game is being played on the street
And the sight is not that pleasant for the eyes to greet
As those streets once a joy to be in now deemed a place to be unsafe
Because those drug pushers seems to be the lord s of the place

Also too there is that great sense of apparent affluence and urbanization
As the life style is such that people live in apartments and condominium
So people head home confined and live in the atmosphere of the air condition
The lighted streets, the moonlight is no longer anymore to the beckon  
Because the tension on the street has presented a great problem
