Gone Are The Days

 Gone are the days when you were kids.

Gone are the days when you were schooling.

Gone are the days when you were single.

Gone are the days when you were ruling.

Gone are the days when you were rocking the parties.

Gone are the days when you were loving and dating.

Gone are the days when you were living your best life, high class, in Greece.

Gone are the days when you were nursing your babies, craving their bright future, caged in parenthood dealing.

Gone are the days when you were a married infidel, nailing every Dick and Harry with hole to poke with endurance pills.

Gone are the days when you were still living on earth (walking with staff or not, rich or poor, healthy or frail, known or hard to be noticed you existed among the living).

So do the right things today,

For sooner or later

Everything you have done shall become

"Gone-Are-The-Days".
