A World That Was

                                                                  There was a time once, when it
                                                                              all seemed to fit ..
                                                                     When the machine did what
                                                                                    it was told
                                                                   and there was none of this shit ..
                                                                                   Long before
                                                                    we were programmed and told
                                                                                     what to do ..
                                                                    When we all had a conscience
                                                                                   and purpose
                                                                    when our sky and the seas were
                                                                                       still blue ..
                                                                    Yes, there was a time once when
                                                                                everything clicked
                                                                   long before AI, prefabricated truth
                                                                                      and all of this
                                                                    mind numbing, fake news bullshit ..
                                                                                   Yes, there once
                                                                      was a time when all our seas
                                                                                    were home to
                                                                       dolphins, whales and a whole
                                                                                     heap of fish ..
                                                                       Not just chemicals, discarded
                                                                                  diapers, plastics
                                                                       assorted waste and other shit ..
                                                                                  There was a time
                                                                       once when you could walk into
                                                                                     a bar without
                                                                        fretting, neck one or two and
                                                                                      walk out again
                                                                       without fear of getting stabbed,
                                                                               shot, spiked or being
                                                                    subjected, to all kinds of other shit ..

Nev, FDR once said...We have always held to the hope, the belief, the conviction that there is a better life, a better world, beyond the horizon.

The trick today is trying to find said horizon beyond all the pollution.
Powerful writing and alas, never a truer word said.👍🏼
Maybe future wiser heads shall prevail.

I couldn't agree more dear Nev, the state of today, and all. I dread watching the news now. Beautifully crafted on a subject so very dark, society needs to make some changes and soon. 🌹
