What Has Happened To Society

What has happened to society? Oh how I miss the olden days When people helped everyone else Now no-one does anything for nothing People are just out for themselves I remember the close-knit communities Doing favours for one another When young people had respect For their father and their mother It breaks my heart to think about How much times have changed Family-life a thing of the past And kin-folk are estranged The world is in the grip of a virus And common sense is a thing of the past People stockpiling goods whether needed or not Spaces on supermarket shelves are vast I'd like to say to panic-buyers Filled with selfishness and greed Please stop for a minute and think Of the elderly and vulnerable in need Only buy as much as you need And leave food for everyone else Consider other people's needs And stop just thinking about yourself Let us all be more considerate And caring about our fellow man Look out for one another And cope the best that we can ©Jenny LInsel 2020
