Times Change

Times Change I was born in the year 1940 Growing up I was a little naughty I was a little scared To really be bad We started to see many strangers People reacted to different dangers My mother and her friends stopped the late night talks People were being more careful during walks My mother and friends started locking doors We seen protective gates going up on the local stores My family and I lived in New York City Things became worse and not to pretty Garbage thrown in the yard and the street By people that were not clean or neat Women could not walk by men without words Men would make sounds like chirping birds After a few years of worry for my kids and wife We moved from the city and started a new life
