The Good Old Days
Do you remember a time when the most fun you had was with a huge cardboard box and
your imagination?
The cardboard box became your space ship and you became an astronaut,
Running through the living room pretending to travel through space,
Run in your back yard pretending it was the moon and creating a whole new world.
Do you remember when little kids were so innocent and pure?
Now days first graders are exposed to things they shouldn't be exposed to until they are
way older.
What happened to the good cartoons on TV?
You know like rocket power or the wild thorn berries,
the cartoons with the good morals,
but today there are shows on TV. That consists of violence, drugs, sex, or stupid stuff.
What happened to the simple things in life?
There are more people that rely on material things so much they loose sight of the simple
things and happiness.
What has happened to our government?
You can barley trust the protection & legal system any more.
Take a good look around you,
allot has changed with every year,
every generation,
what happened to the good 'old days?
How they are missed by only so many people,
I hope someday soon the good 'old days come back soon.
