There Was a Time

There was a time when families stayed and stuck together Now it's like no one really knows each other There was a time that children by themselves could walk to the store In this time they go missing so alone no more There was a time when drugs were mostly weed Now they are mixing poisons pill popping and killing the feinds There was a time when TV's were off at ten Now the TV channels never end There was a time when neighbors were really your friend Not you have to watch your own back again There was a time when you saw street lights and most of the children would be in Now the new parents are scared to discipline There was a time when every Sunday Meant over Grandma's and cooking a big family dinner The grandmas are out more so that seems to have ended There was a time when children were always playing outside Now they have the video games that keep them inside There was a time when we all had pagers Stopping by a phone booth to call back Now they have cellular phones that have eliminated that There was a time when you had privacy inside of your home Social media and attention become the new throne There was a time Those used to be the days Welcome to 2018 we are in the New Age
