'Echoes Of The Bygone Era' by Charity Munyimbili
Unnoticed gone, are the days
When love, care, and dignity lit life’s ways
A world that once pulsed with vibrant zest
Now lies barren, devoid of its noble best
We lost our footing when we lost humanity.
Freedom to shame, in the name of rights
No shame, no conscience, no regard for others’ pain
Only pride and self-love, an endless hollow,
Wisdom was sacrificed at the altar of desire
Now selfish whims dictates our hearts’ darkest fire
The weight of embarrassment, borne by loved ones dear
A burden shouldered, as our humanity disappears
Now, in this desolate landscape, we roam and grieve
Mother Nature’s warnings, our final chance to retrieve
Our dignity, our hearts, our very souls
Lest damnation awaits, and our future unfolds.
