the old folks abandoned

Old folks abandoned
The tragedy of children forget
How their parents sacrifice for them?
The filial duty disappears

The modern society
The breeding of “you take care you own”
The aging parents begging on the streets
Some abandoned in hospitals

The old folks homes
The aging souls stories to tell
Eyes on the doors or windows
Listening to the familiar sound

The children hardly arrive
Even once a year to bring cheer
The aging folks are left alone
The tears fall from their eyes

Passing law to compel children
It will have the abuses in the way
The mental tortures and physical injuries
Just to have a place to live then die

The old folks are better in the homes
The caregivers and volunteers
They may have some dignity left
Without love it will be a nightmare
