Is Nothing Sacred Anymore

     Once I learned I’d have to pay for my sins
         Today I see there’s not a sin that’s not ‘in’

     Once I was told to respect every teacher
         Today a teacher’s the lowest of creatures

     Once the US flag was a source of pride
         Today it only serves to divide

      Once girls admired a ‘man in uniform’
         Today they seek out ‘singular unicorns’

     Once teens practiced ‘making conversation’
         Today they can’t talk, they’re texting sensations... 

     Did everything die; is nothing sacred anymore
          Well, kids still ask parents for money
              ~  only today a whole lot more
