Changing Times In America

Women are quickly adjusting to modern times by being more liberal and independent of men; gone is the housewife, mother and wife, who stayed home and took care of her children... On the other hand, men seem to have lost their power as breadwinners by becoming less caring and loving husbands; families rarely gather at dinner to discuss matters, and this daily celebration pleased their Creator... Martin Luther was assassinated and John F. Kennedy followed him, so did his brother Robert and America watched and mourned; these were, indeed, difficult times that changed the image of a nation, and the innocent blood spilled by hatred spread more indignation... Unexpectedly, something marvelous happened which brought awareness; and soon after the American astronauts landed on the barren and grey moon, everyone wanted to declare their rights as abiding and loyal citizens of a country that suppressed freedom and created unneccessary choas and gloom... This teen was powerless and horrified witnessed these events that changed America, peace, justice and fairness were far cries from reality, more needed to be done; and mama didn't want to lose me when the Vietnam War started and hippies refused to pick up arms; and their peaceful songs are a reminder of a youth spared by God for His great purpose...
