No need for hospitals ,then

No need  for  hospital, then.

We  were  young, kids ,merry
Played  on sands in riverbeds,
Sands, sand dunes, hide and  seek
Our  hands feel the deft roll of
Crabs, nudging upon each  other.
Built  squares ,improvised  hills
and  homes  with  toys ; toys
made  of  wooden  pieces, we
deliberately  took  there, to
stir  and  spin  and  span.  
Our  world was  too  small
to think   of  bombs   and 
artillery,  neither,  blood     
dipped  in   cavalcade, though
cavalry was always in our dream
in our   books  in simple terms.
Cars we  ran, toy in sands and
Sands  ran in our  hands.
But, we were  too young 
To think of hospitals ,wards
and  beds  and  patients .
we  saw  fighting  amidst
ourselves, not fighting  in
bigger levels. Then, no need
for  hospitals .
