Carried To Extremes

passes by

If you observed, as I have done,

And noticed the world change,

How things we loved, have lost their fun,

And moved totally out of range.

Where once the places we liked to go,

Are gone without a trace,

And all the things we felt were so,

Are just plainly not the case.

Where once we hunted tiny rocks,

And buildings replaced them all,

And the paths we took all our walks,

Are parking lots, or just a Mall.

To what extreme must we exit?

To have the things we had,

And what things must we know?

To remove all the things so bad.

Things are far from what they were,

Most remote, utmost to the greatest degree,

So nothing now, or today is sure,

And nothing is really what you see.

To bring back from drastic ways,

To the gifts we once observed,

To return to all good days,

When morals and truth were served.

Superb piece of poetry. I'm stunned. It flows beautifully, and the rhymes leave a lasting impression on the reader, especially someone like me who loves rhymes. Reading it, I felt the feeling of nostalgia about the past and how everything back then seems so perfect now. We want to undo the changes that have taken place and go back to those times when "morals and truth" were the things that one saw around oneself. Great write.

This is so true today, wish our congressmen would read this, you've said so much here about how we feel these days, we are robbed more and more everyday by huge corporations that care only for their bottom line, and don't care what they do to our environment, and won't care until it's too late.
