Those were the times when walking far
Was a leisure for one and all
There were no ridges there was no wall
And no countries suffered because of war.

Those were the times when friends were true
And a happy feast would last for hours
There were no bikes there were no cars
Yet distances amongst people never grew.

These are the times of lightening speed
The times of instant gratification
Where machines are better companions at times of need.

These are the times we live to see
Times we call the millenium
For all the problems today do those times still the key?
