Is Nothing Sacred Anymore

Once I learned I’d have to pay for my sins Today I see there’s not a sin that’s not ‘in’ Once I was told to respect every teacher Today a teacher’s the lowest of creatures Once the US flag was a source of pride Today it only serves to divide Once girls admired a ‘man in uniform’ Today they seek out ‘singular unicorns’ Once teens practiced ‘making conversation’ Today they can’t talk, they’re texting sensations... Did everything die; is nothing sacred anymore Well, kids still ask parents for money ~ only today a whole lot more

Free stuff, free housing, free transportation, freedom from any accountability. My Lord, what kind of naive, never-land society have we fostered?
