When Things Were Simple
Days of my youth so long ago,
seems like it never happened.
things were so simple, not
hard to understand.
Most of my friends have
passed on, no one to
talk with about those
simple days.
We had respect
for our elders, even if we
didn't agree with them.
Simple in our walk and
things we did. World
was a different place then,
than it is now.
Kids didn't go to
school to kill their
peers.
We feared our teachers
and obeyed them, we had
to or we would get smacked.
Parents spanked their kids in
public, without fear of
child abuse.
The days of when things
were simple wll never be
again and time marches on.
