Once upon a time

I was a man from high castle

The best family provider

And I enjoyed being significant.

What am I now?

Yesterday’s history cannot quench today’s thirst

And I am now told to bring a toothpaste.

Once upon a time

I bought a television

Today there is a family division

I wonder what happened

I am looking stupid like a man with no vision.

Who will bring the glory I had yesterday?

Once upon a time

I was never rich, neither was I poor.

I celebrated everyone’s birthday.

Brought cakes and snacks home.

People dearest to me are leaving,

I am crying now on a series of death days.

Starvation and poverty are dangerous friends.
