Rememberish

i remember when life was deemed hard and entitlement meant you could work as such i remember when you could depend on your neighbor listening to opposition without need to prejudge i remember when the smartest guys in the room were the laureated scientists of Nobel stature i remember when t'was better to save than consume and the supply side didn't come from Mrs. Thatcher i remember when coming upon where the money lay wasn't justified as reason to have a field day i remember when MBA's weren't humanities masters when fatherless children were the ones called bastards i remember what's forgotten by capital economists when caring for people wasn't a taunt calling communist i'll remember tomorrow what today's been cast away that actions are louder than acts of morality play too, i remember times, when there were robber barons when peoples hardships where even more transparent and men sold apples on the corner for a penny children slept hungry, 'cause they didn't have any food or shoes to wear, or even a bed to lay upon and the Barons or Kings or Pinkerton's rings made the future's prospect a bleak phenomenon only the fortunate few could pull life's strings now remembering when men in sandals and robes wandered the lands to prophet the peoples to preach and to teach, to soulfully probe spiritual concepts that all souls are equal i remember that yesterday is cast solid in past of stone or bronze or your own choice of metaphor i remember that tomorrows promise can outlast possibilities that we too, can become dinosaurs © Goode Guy 2013-06-21
