Back In The Days

when I was young

I'm not a kid anymore

needeed permission to explore sex education

now it's impreagnation at twelve

oh how I sit and wish I was a kid again

when people actually cared and never had

to pretend to be your friend

somewhere on God's green earth we failed

when the universe was a bit more kind

the adolescents never sassed or they we're gashed

anywhere and time into a blind state

back when daughters were somewhat safe

where as today intercourse wasn't heavily endorsed

and an curfew was reinforced

and I remember when

I remember way back than

when them boys used to rock them parts

when cuts was a form of art

hightop fades, rat tails, lines on the left side as well

which was said it represented delinquency

embarrassed with the foodstamp books

in which mama used with a frequency

church seven days a week

could've became adventists

yet still a menace

the short bus and the  aggravated driver

we only got liver

Saturday morning cartoons

oatmeal was always the ordeal

a barefoot rush to the ice cream truck

last but not least, the eight track

now that's way back

A great poetic reflection. Ironically, back in the day---way back---some of us confused desegregation with integration---loosing many of our children to becoming like the society the integrated into. We must now boldly take back our children before they exterminate them all. Then what? We need to get back to the days: "As long as you are under this roof..." Thanks for the sharing.
