• I wish the world
    was Different.
    I wish it was the way
    It Used to Be.
    Back when people
    used lies to tell the
    Truth.
    Back when music had
    lyrics that Meant
    Something.
    Back when the melody
    was Least Important.
    Back when artists could
    be called Artists, because
    they were.
    Back when people were
    Humble.
    Back when accomplishments
    weren't Crowns.
    Back when crowns meant
    Duty, not fame.
    Back when leaders were
    Role Models.
    Back when heads didn't
    contain Sawdust.
    Back when Education
    was a person's main goal.
    Back when the words
    "In Moderation" weren't
    Ignored.
    Back when lives weren't
    wasted.
    Back when the Death of
    an Enemy meant
    Regret when we expected
    Relief.
    Back when Hate
    Needed Love.
    Back when Logic
    and Faith acted
    like Human and
    Snake.
    Back when "I Love You"
    didn't mean sex.
    Back when marriage wasn't
    a solution, but a Promise.
    Back when that Promise
    was Kept. (When Death
    did them part.)
    Back when Love was
    Felt not Proved.
    Back when Age meant
    "Wise" and not
    "Burden" or "Embarrassment".
    Back when a Lifestyle
    wasn't a Curse.
    Back when we really were
    Sorry.
    Back when Sincerity was
    Real.
    Back when all wounds
    were mended, and when
    wars had Ended.

    But maybe I'm Dreaming.
