Where Did the Quality of Life Go

Where did the quality of life go? We were on bicycles, jumping rope, eating popsicles. Who cared about dirt? We threw our body into pools with nary a care. The elderly with canes, just harrumphed and gave us watery, cataract stares. With nary a care, we played hide and seek. And rode to wealthier places to just take a peek. Radio was all that we had. Great stories we listened too! And guess what, youngins? We were grateful and glad. No flashing blue screens, no food was delivered. Mom cooked it all so well. Why, we drooled and had shivers! Stores were tiny and owned privately by hard working owners that knew your name? Big, unfriendly stores now to me, are as cold as a wintry rain! Some of us remember, when Church was a must. When nuns in long, black gowns were people who had our trust! No child swore, or if they did got a spanking. Today? They go to a school psychologist for a ranking. Few go to church, as back in the day! They are online playing the Internet game of the day. God's crucifix is no longer on display? Great,,,we can break now a commandments loot, burn and kill? Life is more fun that way? A fine life highway we have set for boys and our girls. But then sexes are outlawed, puts me in a total whirl. I am so glad to not be in love with the Internet Nation. It started off well...but is no longer a sane creation. People cannot move one inch without their iPhone dear? The sites on the Internet show far more than a derrière! I hope we get close,as humans once be! And stop the madness of FaceTime replacing reality. Sure, many will disagree and think I am a jerk That's fine, be on your way and just twerk! 7-5-2021

I we are twin dumb phone owners...I only have the iPad. No PC....!)) Have never seen Americans by lies, get injected with an unapproved by the FDA drug, and blame white people for all sins in this country. They are using Hitlerism to control all of us. Bidens new one is to go door to door and force that crap into our systems. Oh. I forgot he said Americans have No Rights, Zelig Heil! Pangie xx

For sure, there is much to be said about direct, honest relationships. I remember bringing home, on short notice, a bunch of buddies from the gym for a dip in the pool -- Mom would make pizza after pizza, with never a complaint.... The good old days. Love your write. Great job!

there are some good things about this modern age, but in general, yes , quality of life is diminished, that is for sure and kids will never be the same once the vaccinators get their hands on them. Poor kids of today.

Panagiota, This poem brought back some good memories. 'Radio was all that we had. ~ Great stories we listened too!' Makes me miss Paul Harvey somehow. You shed some light on parenting skills. Sometimes I wished my kids had come with an instruction manual. -Richard

Classroom, and each other Adults need to grow up, bigtime also Pangie xx
