In my day

​In my day we had fun,
People were humble, and  did face their own ordeals,
Politics was better managed back then and sport brought many of us joy
I remember fondly as a little boy.

Yes there were the bigots who needed to be ‘called out’,
They weren’t very nice people, as now they would receive a much needed clout.

People made decisions and stuck to it,
Systems didn’t change all the time, 
People in power made mistakes, politicians will always philander… for goodness sake!

There was less technology 
And people engaged without a text, 
People did wind each other up, and it wasn’t put on social media to cause us to vex.

We loved and we cried
Humbled our hearts when someone famous died,
But today I say to people: “just chill”
The world will always have its fraughts, it’s just how we manage which is the almighty deal.
