Remember When
Remember when
Remember when...you were an innocent child
when everyone was good and you could trust every smile?
Remember when... children played outside alone
evil was not lurking on the green grass of home?
Remember when...children walked by themselves to school
parents were not neglectful, or breaking any rule?
Remember when...schools major problem was students chewing gum
not bullets flying randomly from an unhappy students gun?
Remember when...AID was what you gave to someone else in need
and there were no hungry homeless people living on the street?
Remember when...terrorism was just another ordinary word
and did not touch you personally and was rarely ever heard?
Remember when... you were told that these were signs of the last days
do you believe it, or still think that nothing's really changed?
