“Here we are today...

Picking up the pieces of eight that the rich-minded has neglected.

Searching in vain for a small taste of happiness...

While we lower our expectations, becoming unprotected.

What has become of the heroes dwelling in all of us?

Even our legends of childhood have become idols of play.

Social media fuels our reasons to hate each other even more and more...

Across the street or many, many miles away.

Whatever happened to the times when life was sooo easy, pure and simple?

Where there was no tablets, cellphones, mp4's or laptops...

The boys had baseball cards and Hot Wheels.

While the girls had Barbie dolls and Easy-Bake ovens.

Almost everyone was happy and appreciated.

Technology...
