They were , at least, the better of times,
The times we grew up in were,
We flew to the moon & knew Kennedy,
No one back then used as much as now a racial slur…
We had pride in our nation,
We had, on TV, heroes & knew a few comical villians,
We were free from knowing the transgressions of our politicians,
We thought only a white lie would one day bring on our damnation…
We loved for we knew not any other,
We only knew of our fathers & mothers,
We knew a strict code,or else get punished,
We didn’t know of kidnapping, rape & crime,
Our families did of us hide,
And did for us in love smother…
