In my youth I envisioned the future as a wonderful place, Peace, flying cars, visiting space. That idea is gone. Have the changes made a better world or one more frightening, more dangerous, more ominous? My memories make it seem that way. When will we ever learn what really matters?
What Happened?
My past is a dream
A memory
A life of summer days
Poodle skirts
Bobby socks
We did
Hide under desks
With fear of A bomb
And built
Air raid shelters
That did not
Dim our hope
Our dreams
Of a better world
Free from fear
Time moved on
Electronics, VHS, DVD’s
Computers, internet
Instant everything
A better world?
Strange
My memory world
Seems happier
Less fearful
More hopeful
The better world
Vision lost
More war
More sickness
More hatred
What happened?
I think the good has exponentially increased with the bad. We cannot let the darkness overcome the light.
