Nostalgia...The Good Old Days

Missing image

N ew generation is in charge now

O ld folks silently cry out in vain

S ummertime is now thongs and bling

T ears shed for morals and respect we lost

A merica of the future will pay the cost

L ust has replaced love with breast and butts

G one is pride with glory and guts

I  pray that God have mercy on the souls

A merica has lost tradition along with it's goals

*

Will the children of the future look back at their past

and remember these days when they had a blast

Or will they remember the generation before

that tried to explain the faith was no more

 

Memories of the past are hard to perceive

As we peruse the albums and silently grieve

Our parents had it hard and were set in their ways

struggling to get by most of the days

 

Following tradition of the generation before

Pride, Respect and Honor...those were their ways

leaving us with nostalgia and memories of 

******** The Good Old Days ********

    This mixture of acrostic and normal quatrains wroks very well. I had never thought of doing something like that.
    Your message is clear, the language used is easily understood and the construction of the piece is excellent. Worthy of a gold, good luck.
