Changes Are Not Always Better - Upside Down Contest
The world has taken on a new dimension
No longer are you in charge of your ideals
If you look on line for advice on a subject
You are bombarded by companies offering advice
You had left a digital trace
Big brother is watching us
In the past decade many things have changed our world
Countries that once were under the communist thumb
Have joined the E.U
Uniting Europe is the intention
Until 2016 when the British people opted to leave
under the banner of BREXIT
This has definitely turned the world upside down
Humorous side of literally turning things upside down
The humble umbrella
Was re- designed so when folded the rain doesn’t run all over you.
It works I know I have one.
My life has been altered by large degree
no longer when tired need to go out to shop
With on line shopping it’s a dawdle
Delivered to your door
Same with online banking
can move your money around at will.
No queues that dreadful waste of time
Progress in medicine has made living easier
Even the countries where rain is a stranger
Through charitable societies water pumps are installed.
This indeed has changed things for the better
What we lost in today’s society
Manners seem to have disappeared
The young folk are not taught them
Family life is so different
No longer do families sit together at mealtime
Where you can talk and share problems
Now the kitchen is like a fast food chain
All waiting for the ping of the microwave.
Life in general is so different
Gone are the long walks in the evening for many
Instead the big screen flickers
watched by the young and old alike.
