Less Is Better

As I walk and wander around these are the changes
I have found.

Children text they don't talk anymore.

They hardly use bins just throw trash on the floor.

No kids in the park on swings and climbing frames

Just sat indoors playing video games.

Walk to the shop it isn't that far

But for a five minutes walk you use the car.

So much has changed since I was a lad

But the world seemed much better with what
Little we had.

So I’ve heard, and sometimes less is better and things were more calmer and carefree then, I can imagine, you’ve written so very well here, reality of today, especially “children text they dont talk anymore”
