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 or prefabricated truth
and all of this
mind numbing, fake news bullshit ..
Yes, there once
was a time, when our seas were
the home to
dolphins, whales and a whole
heap of fish ..
Not just chemicals, discarded
diapers, plastics
assorted waste and other such shit ..
There was a time
once when you could walk into
a bar without
fretting, neck one or two and walk
out again without
any fear of getting stabbed, shot
spiked or being
subjected, to all kinds of other shit ..

There's a lot of s*** about in various ways in life, it seems. Doh!
We can't keep coming up smelling of roses for ever tho' surely .. now let that be a warning ..
I want to smell the roses, not the manure. lol.
Was a blessing growing up as a mind without mobile phones all around
I quite agree but sadly, we would most of us be lost without them .. cheers
Kudos Nev. 🌹 I want to say so much but I'll leave it like this because we have the same idea's on this stuff. ❤️
Cheers Teddy .. a nods as good as a wink to a near blind clinical specialist .. 🌹
That world is still available, just have to divorce ourselves from the other.
that would be a big help wouldn't it
It's achievable brother.
Completely agree, Neville. Every single line really hits home.
Just you make sure you lock all your doors n ya windows sunshine .. cheers Tom 🌻
I didn’t get no satisfaction then.. Yes! Bloody lucky to be there even if there was still much wrong with the world.
But no double negative this time round, many are suffering as you list so carefully, Neville, I’m just lucky plus some good timing to have cushioned myself from most of it.
You do positivity proud sir Dog.
Tremendous. You nailed this one.
I believe there are still those who think its a hammer strapped to my leg .. thanks for putting em straight Tom .. Neville
This makes me pine for all things lost. Thankfully I have a memory. Will always thank my lucky stars, I was born in the right decade. We are moving too fast and furious. You are saying it as it is Neville.
I think similarly Cassie .. many thank indeed for the shout and the 👍
Such true words Neville.
Yes there once was a time and I remember it well, such wonderful memories.
Andy
Thanks Andy .. hold on to em .. N
Yes, there once was a time when you could trust your neighbor, not have to lock your doors, not get into an argument with someone because they misunderstood you, had a quality choice for president, wake up to morning news not about bombings and bloodshed. Seems the world is going to shit. Well penned N.
Thanks my friend, I'm glad we see eye to eye & couldn't agree with you more .. Neville

I desperately clamour for a possibility of hitting a switch and having all this modern world shenanigans gone... But I guess all that remains just a wish
