Parable lost

Since ancient times,

we have these customs,

sharing tales of wisdom,

to psyche, of the masses. 

Parables stories, simple yet profound,

with moral compass, firmly bound

timeless lessons, pure and bright,

illuminating paths, in the darkest nights. 

Passed down, as oral traditions, 

blended with local belief systems,

fairy tales, to mythological figures,

carrying along, hidden messages... 

To these stories, we were drawn, 

planting values, deep in our minds,

while being invested & entertained, 

by characters, capturing our attentions. 

The methods of deliveries changed,

as we as society, have progressed,

with literatures, songs and pictures,

we had the access, to these treasures. 

Yet, with time, our interests changed,

replaced by screens, of diverse pleasures,

the parables faded, vanishing from life,

a tree that withered, without nourishment. 

No longer we gather, hear old stories,

nor have preferences, or the cravings,

failing to receive, their guiding grace,

the innocent hearts, might go stray. 

So, let us bring back, parables lost,

instill the values, of morality & ethics,

of virtues, kindness, empathy, & justice,

following the tales, of various genres... 

Developing principles and characters,

or be in danger, of breaking apart.
