La Dolce Vita, Opus One


La Dolce Vita  Part One 

How sweet life is, indeed!
The air we breathe, our nightly rest.
Think back about your very first
steps.
You played games outdoors with
your nose not stuck to a screen.
You romped in the woods ever so
merrily.
Days of conviviality with no fear.
Just endless days and nights
with parents and friends, we held
so very dear.
Life was just beginning for us.

Most of us went to Church and
learned who created the Universe.
We learned the Ten Commandments 
that applied to men and women...
one and all.

Our countries stood tall and 
proud. We loved our countries
proud of its flag and song.
Leaders were respected not
humiliated or the butt of jokes.

Times horribly transformed..
When God was shown the door
and our country and leaders
we abhor.
The New Bible is the deceitful and
devilish fourth estate,
That has made us hate each other
without reason or debate.

The time has come my friends
To get a grip, return to reality.
Love all and create a new world,
That is ours and for those yet to be.
