I remember the days when $20JA could buy me a patty, now it costs $80. I remember when $10 could carry me home from the town, now it costs $50; I remember when you could purchase a “box lunch” as we Jamaicans call it for minimum $100, now it costs close to $200.
I never thought the day would come (well i thought it would come, but not quite so soon) where i would actually sit down and look back at the “Olden Days” so early where things were considered as uhm..cheap, or so i thought. Times have surely changed, at such a rapid rate, it’s quite unbelievably, it’s somewhat depressing, i fear what the future will be like. There are so much things to be depressed about while on the flip there are so many things to be joyful about, the world has surely changed and is still changing. Apparently Greed, Power, and deceitfulness rules this world of ours; if you can’t beat them, why not join them, i for one WILL not get left behind.
I think i’m getting old…..maybe, just maybe. I just like hugging my mundane thoughts (does that even make sense?)
*sighs*
