The New Norm

We must learn to deal with the new norm Things have changed since I was a kid It's surely a different world since growing up Is it better or not that's the question For those who grew up during the war years When the world was on the brink Memories take over during a difficult time Challenging of the missing link The future was really not assured in those days Atomic destruction was imminent Made it through though in spite of all things Still here as long as we remain vigilant
