# Cold Skeleton by the roadside

People all age, at a time, when they need help but can rarely offer something valuable.

When they need help, they have to make a phone call to their children thousands of miles away, or to their best friends, hobbling like them.

Children left them, people hide away from them. They're always alone in the street, mumbling some language people can hardly catch.

They can't keep pace with the society anymore; They are incapable of learning something new and understanding those strange gadgets which are violently transforming the world. They are no longer a part of this world.

They are justified in being alone.

What a fxxking harsh truth!

They are the weak one now, however, the society never cease to admire the strong.

Civilization, a sacred word, but more like some traditional indoctrination. It's taught and put restraints on people. And a cloak under which people could live decently.
