Do You Remember

Do You Remember Do you remember? Living through the death of a president A year of assassinations Fighting a war no one wanted Heroes spat upon when they came home Peace finally found when American turned and ran Black and white television Only three channels from which to choose Students massacred while walking to class A British invasion that forever changed music Healthy tobacco and saccharine Sold through commercials and ads Pollution filled our lungs The death of a princess on a lonely road Injections in schools to prevent disease Nuclear test in the Nevada desert Air raid drills just in case Half of the world never trusted the other One president resigned while another gave away cheese The law finally made all kids equal People stating their thoughts arrested and jailed Locked away so that no one would ever hear After living through all of this only one question remains How did we ever survive?
