Where Are Those Days

Where are those days when life was fun?
We all lay drying our bodies in the sun 
We had no care or worry of the world
Suddenly into adult reality we were all hurled.  
We drifted further into the arms of expectations 
As if our achievements would save us and the nations. 
We all need something more than routine
Where is happiness gone where has it been? 
I will trade all my money and earthly possessions 
For a world filled with love and less such oppressions
We all chase for things unimportant 
on our pedestals they sit being dormant.
