Nostalgia

It is difficult for many to leave behind,
Their feelings of nostalgia.
An excessively sentimental yearning,
Overcomes some for a return to a past...
That has made them 'homesick'.

Even though the period and conditions once lived,
Are irrecoverable...
The attempt to do it has led many to insist,
With a protesting that their wishes are met.
And with threats, there are those who demand.
