I Remember When

i remember when
the sky was not tainted with smoke
when the oceans were clean
and the families told jokes

i remember when
there were no worries
there were no kidnappers
when life wasn't in a hurry

i remember when
people you did not know
walked by you smiling
and saying hello

i remember when
there was no pollution
people didn't use foul language
and everyone didn't fight but created a solution

i remember when the world was a better place............
