What Happened To the Family

What happened to the family
That I used to know 
once surrounded by loved ones 
now i stand alone,
cousins that used to play 
now dont speak a word 
and when I need advice 
Not one voice is heard
sisters that at a time 
Would move mountians 
With just one call 
Are now just dusty pictures
Hanging on the wall
all Of our family reunions 
now take place at 
the funeral home 
and it seems like we all
forgot how to use the phone
Instead of showing love 
hate is spread around 
and instead of lifting up
We bring each other down
What happened to the family 
That i used to know 
This is not how it should be 
Where did everybody go
grandpa is no longer here 
and grandmas not doing great
Family we need to fix this 
Before it is to late
