When the world was dark

Do you remember when the world was dark

Before we had electric lights and cars,?

When what we valued was the vital spark

Everyone could  gaze up  at the stars.

Now the world is bright, there is no night

Everything is open but our minds.

Will no one ever  wish for better sight?

What is the future for the human kind?

Why aren’t we content with modest lives?

Do we need three bathrooms in our homes?

Rather it should be a place of love

Where hearts and minds are gentle ,hate unknown?

Excessive light will make excessive dark

Moderation surely is less stark
