Once Upon A Memory
They say
Every day
That it was always better
In the olden days
That now
The skies are dark & gray
And looking back
Is the only way
Nothing could be better
Than our golden age
No nothing could be greater
Than the games
We used to play
To remember the good times
We gloss over the bad
Shove to the back
The things that made us sad
But what about now
What about how
The things that bring joy
To this dark lonely day
So much to your dismay
Are today’s trials any worse
Than the things we used to curse
Do faces in the crowd
Still scream out loud
Crying out from the past
For a justice that lasts
Everyone looks the same
In, rose-tinted hues
But the bad things we’ve done
Must not be forgotten
When we look back through our past
Remember
It’s just as it is today
Darkness and light intermixed
Scales of color, scales of gray
And think
Once upon a memory
Things may be different now
The circumstances may have changed
But that doesn’t mean
We’re worse off than we were
And maybe
We are even still okay
Just a little something I whipped in about 30-35 minutes, just before I started this post. Lemme know what you think!
Nope, I’m still on hiatus…
