Benefaction

Less of what they were yet happy
Deprived of what we long today
For luxurious golden glitter yet unhappy..?
Masticating memory in making of forefathers

Measured desires mastered life..

In one house, one family, one home
Unified in one familial paradise..
Less of what they were yet happy
Deprived of what we long today
Set apart homes for the needy kins even
