IT USED TO BE

It used to be that children
were wanted and desired
now they just make parents
unhappy and very tired.
It used to be that free time
was an almost unheard of thing
now boys and girls waste their time
instead of enjoying walks and swings.
It used to be that fathers
read the Bible every night
now they turn the t.v. on
and think it a great sight.
It used to be that mom’s
took care of the little ones
now they go off to work
instead of train their daughters and sons.
It used to be that young girls
learned how to use a broom
now they are taught wicked things
as soon as they exit from the womb.
It used to be that government
believed in deity and the Word of God
now it is against the law
to have prayer and use the rod.
It used to be that Christians
believed in judgment from the Son
now all they want to do
is play and have some fun
It used to be that children in school
threw papers at each other
now they carry guns and knives
and care little about one another.
It used to be that poems
were just written for some fun
now sometimes it is the only way
to get through to someone.
