Things change!
Cars, we never had the luxury of cars,
We would endure harsh conditions just to get to places.
Places, we never had sleek structures,
Our buildings were made of mud, unconducive for learning.
Learning, you complain of stress,
The only things we had were books.
Books cause we never had the internet,
We would sweat in the library just to get facts.
Facts, I'll tell you a fact,
Just because you suffered doesn't mean we should too.
Too much progress has been made,
So stop comparing your times with ours.
Our things should not be like yours,
The good things we do, don't have to be the way you once did them.
