The old folks
The light slowly turning to darkness
The time of their heydays are gone
Now in their twilight years
The children should bear the responsibilities
Take care of their aged parents
But we hear stories of them abandoned them
Leaving the old folks in tears and bewilderment
The old folks believe
Produce many children before they grow old
Hoping some children will take care of them
They don't believe they are abandoned
The working parents
Don't use up your EPF or other savings
Don't give it away without security
When they have nothing don't cry at all
We reap what we did before
Growing old expecting children to take care
The old folks should have their own nests
Don't hang on the children to help
The Senior Citizen Bill will be tabled
Why need to wait until next year?
It was mooted way back in 2022
It should be presented in 2023
The old folks
Some are lucky; some are in bad shape
Without finances to survive
The long darkness will come
