"Return With Me, If You Will, Too..."

"Return With Me, If You Will, Too..."

A Poem by Michael Stevens
"

Politics today!

"

 

“Return with Me, If You Will, To...”

 

 

Return with me, if you will, to the good old days

 

when man was compassionate towards his fellow man,

 

when caring was on the upswing; not like now,

 

when it’s dog eat dog, and you’re on your own is the creed

 

Long ago, knowledge wasn’t mocked as something

 

only snobby liberals were guided by

 

Whatever happened to our sense that education,

 

both of ourselves, and our young people,

 

was the key for a bright future?

 

Somewhere or somehow along the way

 

we the people averted our eyes; looked to something new

 

Now days it’s greed and selfishness that we worship

 

Yes, towards the close of the 20th century,

 

politics changed; and a new creed was put in place

 

See how much more satisfied we are?
