Grand dad did you breathe

before air cons were invented
was it hard staying
alive without modern inventions?
Grandma werent you flustered
as you fluttered with paper fans?
Could you communicate before
faxes and long distance calls
became basic necessities?

Grandchild we lived
before your age. Because
of our ignorance,
we did not know
pollution, stress, traffic jams
destruction of forests, streams and
hills
we feared God and nature
now nature fears you and
money is your new God.

Read the text below and complete the following task.

Snatch thefts are on the rise. Recently, there have been cases of snatch thefts in
towns and cities. These thieves target elderly people, women and young children as
their victims.
The cases of snatch thefts are increasing due to unemployment. Many people
nowadays are jobless because they do not have the skills and qualifications to enter
the job market. As a result, they resort to the easiest means of getting money which is
to snatch and steal another persons belongings. Another reason for snatch thefts is the
high cost of living especially in the cities. High fuel cost and the increase in prices of
goods and utilities make people unable to cope with high living expenses.
The migration of youths from the rural villages to urban areas is another factor.
The high cost of living and non-adjustment to city life make these youths unprepared
to face the challenges of city life. With no money to survive, they steal in order to
carry on living in the city.
The influx of illegal immigrants has also caused snatch theft cases to increase.
In order to survive, these illegal immigrants rob and steal. Many innocent victims
become their preys as they go at large in the cities stealing in broad daylight and
harming innocent citizens.
Some drug addicts become snatch thieves in order to get money for their
drugs. Their strong addiction can cause them to resort to snatching a ladys handbag
along the streets, causing snatch theft cases to increase at an alarming rate in the cities.
