Changing Times
This changing world scares me
There is so much I don’t understand or know
I miss the ease and simplicity
Of our world from years ago
A time with little technology
Transactions were of the human kind…..“ Believe it or not “
Where you were not asked to tick a box
Stating “No I am not a Robot”!
Life was more straight forward
Not a headful of passwords and codes
No cards and numbers for all that you do
Resulting in complete mind overload!
A time when you had one telephone
Attached to the wall in your home
Turned the T.V over by hand
Took photos with a camera
Not a telephone!
A time when you paid by cash
Not by plastic and machine
When cards and computers
Were not part of your days
Life wasn’t viewed through a screen
When a baby was born a boy or girl
Depending on their anatomy
Not letting a child decide
On which one they would like to be!
A time less complicated
Although hard working indeed
Tasks completed by your very own hands
Life on a slower speed
Back then life was clearer
Though not as convenient as the present time
There forever will be progress and change
“Life back then” now just a wonderful memory of mine!
