Once upon a time air was free!!!

I was kid then,

Living in a down-town,

House facing the green field,

My life was cool.

"I used to run; I used to fall,

I used to climb; I used to jump,

Friends were treasure then,

My kites never bothered anyone.

Getting up in the morning was so nice,

Playing cricket in the chilling wind,

I confess, used to get away from the ball,

My wit was at it's best.

"I wanted to travel around the world on my cycle,

Cruising ahead was my pasion,

Dreaming too was easy then,

My soul was supportive.

So many trees to tie swings,

Many flowing streams to plunge,

Life used to be party everyday,

My days used to be short for everything.

"Oh - I am no more kid,

Now live in a big city,

House facing windows of neighbors',

My life is shit.

I earn to pay more,

Spend my days in cubical & gasp for fresh breath,

Drag myslef back to the cage in my car,

My routine sucks.

"I'm planning to go for a vacation,

A place where fresh air is on sale,

I may have to look at the newspaper for the advertisements,

My breath is heavier.
