Front Page Story

Front Page Story In the news today we hear of more crime It’s becoming a common thing to find Robberies and killings cover the front page It’s as if the world is in a definite rage I think this all happen when families fell apart When religion in schools was no longer being taught They say there is a reaction for every action in life And the effect of our own doings has caused this strife What ever happen to the good ole days? When families never parted ways Where children got a good education and it served them well And child predators were locked up in cells When churches were full on any given Sunday And preacher and parents still had a say When a hard day work brought a decent living And people had in their heart the gift of giving When homeland security was a dog And incidence of terror were never logged Oh take me back to the good ole days When dinners around the table were the rage When MTV wasn’t a sexual channel And men weren’t afraid to wear flannel When the front page story was a pleasure to read And parents took responsibility for their seed
