Toys of Yesteryear
Toys of Yesteryear
Some of you have seen these.
Simple, beautiful toys.
Played on the living room carpet.
Sometimes on our knees.
Some right on an oil clothed
kitchen table.
No hang ups about the sexuality
of girls and boys.
In those days, we were all
considered equal and able.
This is prior to Priscilla PC and
Sammy SMART,
When parents did not call the
SWAT team when you dared
play with a dart!
There where wooden Chinese
checkers, oh,how UN-PC!
Try Russian nestling dolls.
Surely, designed by Oligarchs,
To overthrow the next
presidency!
How about a pair of Scottie dog
magnets, one black, one white?
Reverend Al and Jesse would
declare them a national blight!
Maybe a pair of balsa wood gliders?
Oh, no! Not those.
They'd be instructing us to be war
mongers.
Old Maid Card game, well how
about that?
No way, women's' liberation will
have none of that.
Funny, we never went around
hurting or shooting each other.
We actually read books and
respected each other as sisters
and brothers.
You don't need me to tell you
the vicious video games kids
play today.
The saddest part is, if it's
computerized, it's automatically
O.K.
The children don't realize they
are brainwashed into an AI
nation.
We adults need to see their
games have some human coordination.
The children see us stuck to devices
day and night.
Our pasty white faces, must
give them a fright.
Hardly a "Silent Night!"
Nobody in the house talking!
Each glued to a screen.
To many, this is just awesome.
For me, this loss in humanity,
is beyond anything, I have ever
seen!
