I wish it could b as marvelous as it once was
Before my time it was impossible 4 me 2 witness
I believe what I have been told and what I have learned
along the way
This envied piece of the past
seemed better greater happier
not taken for granted
no self absorbed obsessions of pointless nothings
back when respect honesty and courtesy were not forgotten
when teenagers thought it was cool to b teenagers not mothers
when kindness and luv were spread
not violence an hatred
these angry acts spreadso rapidly and sporadically
and gratitude was quickly and quietly swept under the rug
our world would be happier if it was as marvelous as it once was.
