In My Day

In my day there were both good guys, and bad The good guys always won, and the bad guys had So when they were captured they went to jail And justice was always served without fail That’s how we learned wrong from right And blood and guts were kept out of sight. Now everything displayed is seen so bold And our world is portrayed to be so cold Nothing but killing and violence on TV Games have villains killing all they see Even the press seeks out murder and gore Violence and looting, and so much more With bad language spoken, as if it’s OK Vulgar words written online every day. Must we always see the worst side of man? Listen up! You can change, Oh yes you can! It will begin with one person at a time Even though it seems like an uphill climb One act of kindness, or kind word to say And with that, we can show others the way!
