Back in the day

 

Theres things in life I just  dont get.
Some  I understand.
We all have different journeys.
Accidents unplanned.

Theres Liars and Abusers.
Narcissists and cheats.
Pathologic liars.
Thieves who live off greed.

Chancers often make it.
Winners take it all.
I wish the good erased the bad.
Or Life was not so cruel.

I wish that life was easy.
Where  no one had to fight.
I'd love to have another chance
To get life  properly right.

I wish the world was equal.
Wouldnt that be nice.
Where money didnt matter.
Religion had no price.

Where Terror didnt happen.
No  massive Tax to pay.
Where no one actually gives  a shit 
If you're  straight or gay.

Everyone safe inside a  home.
Warm and off the streets.
The right to food and water.
A comfy Bed with sheets.

Our troops would get the  football wage.
Thats just Not right at all.
The value of  a soldiers life.
Is  more than  just a Ball. 

A naughty kid should get a slap.
It was a parents right.
If disapline was still allowed.
Our youth  would be alright.

Consoles would be banished.
Mobiles  just to call.
There wouldnt be an internet.
So  Kids would go to school.

Children safe out  playing.
Groups played in the park.
No such thing as sugar tax.
home time when it's dark.

The earth is spinning backwards 
The world has lost its voice.
We're all allowed opinions 
We have the right to  choice.

Laws  are getting tangled.
Ignorance is bliss.
Just Leave mankind to do its work
 And  Nature how it is.
