If I Could Change the World

Keep technology but bring back the old values of those former years- when love of God and country, respect, pride, and honor ruled. Bring back old values of family, friends, church, school, solid like they were- with new tech and old values, we'd have the best of both worlds.

As far as I'm concerned they can take the technology with them too! I love the idea of bringing back old fashioned morals values anything basically. I guess I'm getting old! Really love your poem, Ms. Sandra.

Was going to post a poem I just finished but you basically said it all with this gem of a write. Pendulum has swung to the other extreme today where traditional family values don't mean a thing, and those who were the bullied are now the bullies. Well said!

Thank you for stopping by with your supportive comments. John. Yes, our modern times are surely lacking some values! Thanks again, Sandra

Indeed, sadly it will take a miracle of some magnitude for positive changes to happen. We need a New Consciousness, one that discards the disease ridden System we have been under for thousands of years. Live from the Heart is my 'religion', I'll keep on spreading my love. Nicely executed Sandra.
