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!
