Polaroids and Photography

Inspired by my trip in Asia years ago.

A picture should never exist without feelings,
For photography is the path to prolong memories,
If one cannot capture the plentiful moments of the living,
Then our meanings would be lost amongst the centuries,
Photography advanced, leaving behind photographers,
Phones replaced the old-fashioned polaroids,
Since when have they stopped matter?
This predicament lost me joy,
Often I see in urban amusement parks,
Old photographers being declined their service,
Often there I go for youthful larks,
Now in my mind worries manifested,
Those who have once pursued their passion for photography,
Now have to endure rejection and witness their career cemetery.
