So many are now shooting down the road Listening to the radio tuned loud Pushing the pedal and faster to goad Forgotten the ways of wise and the proud Gifts of the angels were given away Buy long lives without living awake Now fools sell thoughts so that life is a today A fast moving world that lives a mistake No time for relaxing or thinking deep We must do business and get it done quick How did this sad living happen to creep? Our fathers worked hard to see that we stick Though just the cause it’s caused such a culture Causing the kids to act like the vultures |

definitely true...grandparents and parents worked long hard hours to bring about laws and allow us more time to relax...and it seems to be in reverse now. Though some of it is caused by the "wantings" and "I have to have it now" generations. M |
