Why Have We Given Up So Much?

Why have we ceased our endless games,

Of freeze tag in the yard?

Why have the summer days

grown short and lost their luster?

Why have the weekends

Lost the relief of sweet reprive?

Christmas is a break from work

Not a time of glistening lights

And magical snowmen

No more do sugar plums dance in my head

Why have all the colors blurred,

To drab shades of grey?

Where has all the innocence gone,

And why have we left so much behind

When a child

We long to grow

Now a adult

We long to slow

The spinning of the world

As it races on

What have we given up?

"Christmas is a break from work
Not a time of glistening lights
And magical snowmen"
