I WON I WON

ONCE I HAD A SECRET LOVE

DEALING WITH THE DEVIL

WHO IS BOSS?

THE KIDS LAST FIGHT

Poetry Poem

WHAT INSPIRED ME

More Poetry >>

THINGS WERE SIMPLER IN THE FIFTIES

Boys were boys and girls were girls
If they were not it was their business
Americans were not at war in their love of country
I remember the first friend who said,
"If I get drafted I'm moving to Canada."
I served my country he stayed behind and got wealthy
Today all that self greed is bringing us down
Things were so much simpler in the fifties
Today we are educated on politics by, "The View"
Drugs promoted crime, and the rest of the spew
Depression, collection, America not as we knew
Jane Fonda, Marijuana, and wars over drugs
The world controlled by the wealthy and thugs
Remember when things were simpler, the Roman empire?
