What Happened?

What happened to today?
What happened to living in the moment
And all the happy lyrics?
What happened to nature?
What happened to the sun's warmth
Shining on me gently waking the earth?
What happened to technology?
What happened to talking in person
And holding hands instead of pressing keys?
What happened to romance?
What happened to surprise love notes
And long walks under the moonlight?
What happened to wishes?
What happened to wishing on stars
Instead of wishing on false hope?
What happened to us?
What happened to leading our own lives
And not judging our neighbours?
What happened to religion?
What happened to our beliefs
Not those of just Christ but in fairies and mermaids?
Tell me, what has happened to the world?
What happened to being independent
And living our freedom, not being society's zombies?
Someone please tell me, what happened?

i really liked this because these are questions i ask myself all the time. i actually wrote a poem with this same title but instead asking about the fairy tales from our child hood. its really nice to know that the question what happened, is one a lot of us have in common with asking. excellent write :)
