There Was A time

CATEGORY

There was a time when families stayed, prayed, and stuck together

Now it's like no one knows each other

There was a time that children by themselves could walk to the store

In this time they go missing so not anymore

There was a time when drugs were used but mostly, weed

Now they are mixing drugs and killing the feens

There was a time when TV's were off at 10

Now the TV channels never end

There was a time when neighbors were your friend

Not you have to watch neighbors and your own back again

There was a time when you saw street lights 

Most of the children would be in

Now the parents are scared to discipline 

There was a time when every Sunday meant grandma's cooking 

 big family dinner

But when grandma passed, that was the ending

There was a time when children always played outside 

Now they have the games that keep them and their minds bottled inside

There was a time when we all had pagers

Running to the phone booth to call people back

Now they have cellular phones that have taken over that.

There was a time when no one knew what was going on inside your home

Social media and fake friends have made everything known

That used to be the days 

Welcome to The New Age
