A Simpler TimeA Poem by PoeticFuryBack when...I can remember a time when things were so simple. Where life was in the fast lane, but we were able to set the speed and tempo. Bullets would fly and indeed people would die, but it had to be a real reason. The fist would fly, but at the end people would settle their differences and admit there stupidity and speak by saying hi. People would love what they have... They would focus on the here and the then before we got to this messed up future time which is now. They would respect what others have and not worry about what they don't “got” in a matter to obtain it questioning how.. Children would run and play.... To take their troubles away to forget the day... To look forward to holidays not hating nothing if they were taught the right way. They had no reason to leave home... No reason to want to run away.. I can remember babies being born was a real and respectable blessing. Not a contest.... Not a pageant not neglecting them just so the public can see that the mom does not care, but she wants people to care how she is dressing? I can remember messed up cops, yet some did their jobs there was a time when on the news everyday you would not hear that someone is being arrested. War was fought, but for reason where everyone would mind their own business when things were contested. I recall and heard about a time where a lady was a lady where she was a good kind of crazy, Where a man would stand by his woman and think with his right “head:” and if the rubber slipped off the other he would take care of the baby. Where cheating was just a thought that was a feeling that gave a heart unnecessary bleeding, but at the end of the day it was a surprise to say I love you. Flowers and candy capped off by a hug showing that seeing is believing. I recall most of all people did not hold things off they did not stall. There was a reason to want to make the good better. A inner drive to see us being able to get along together. Though now none of that is no more, Not that is does not exist.. It is just something that today's generation has missed. Cloudy their minds with entertainment not facts of entertainment where it is foggy in the mind. Their eyes are blinded by the mist. Where sentimental value means nothing. Where bucking and fighting someone is something. The way to impress your counterparts is how much money you have. How many people you f*****g. Where a girl would fight with another saying that is my man speaking sexual business do you think it is attractive to know and say that is the c**k you sucking? Please.... Where people talk about how we fail and credit is earned in jail. Where instead of trying to go to heaven they focus on making this world hell. Instead of helping someone when they hit the ground they think it is cool to laugh at the fact that they fell. Problems in the world now a days people care less about. They think since it has nothing to do with me. They say oh well Basically where nothing is no longer understood. Where the bad is good. They focus on what they say they are going to do and don't do. With the words I could......, but they don't Swear on their life that they would, but knowing that they won't Where the best way to survive is by lie. Hurting others to get your way. Making a family divide. Smoking, drinking, with all this crime. Wake the hell up people... Come on really? I can remember so well how things were back when. I wish I existed back then in a simpler time. © 2011 PoeticFury |
