Good Old Days

Oh how i can't keep up with the modern day.
What happened to the good old fashioned fun and play.

When the Beatles were the legends,
not crazy, party, drunk-heads.

When girls talked non stop about nails and clothes on the home phone.
Not texting their boyfriends to come over when their parents aren't home.

When girls covered up,
not showing off their D size cup.

When 11 year-old's had no makeup on, meeting guys who liked them as they are.
Not batting their eyes with clumped mascara, to guys who want to do it in their car.

What the hell happened! What made girls decide to loose all class and self-respect? What drove boys to treat girls with such rudeness? What caused the legends to die down due to the new 'artists' ? What happened to society, equality, fairness, class, respect?
This generation got lost.
It all went wrong.

i think these things were the same for every generation but i can understand the nostalgia for a past that seems rosy faced compared to the realities of the modern world. This is a strong poem that leaves you thinking.

[SkrillexLover :)]

Yah what did happen? I love this poem! Keep the good work up!

I agree with Girl Next Door. Powerful write, eye opening. Nice.

[CHRIS ANDES]

good, this is unique =]

[Richy Moon]

Not so true...
Reality does change like a river flowing.
Yeah some things are lost along the way, but my generation isn't lost.
Like life, everyone takes a different route and a new way to walk!

[♪The Girl Next Do..]

So true. For us people of the newer generation, its like a slap to the face (unless you're a total s**t) that we needed. Fantastic.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

A touhing and powerful piece, well done, good read.

[Owlgirl]

Wow powerfully written. Very moving and food for thought, back then they had their own issues, maybe they were not as bad as ours, maybe they were worse. Maybe they were just different. Great work!

I'm 14. I would love to have lived then. I believe in fair and bieing youreself and all that. The world is crap now. I would never be rude on purpose. New artists suck. Great write. The good old days need to come back but all this sh** has ruined it. Girls gone wrong guys gone di**. Awesom write
