Mother love and apple pie.
A liberty dependent on
a love that never died.
Community was born of
an enthusiastic repartee,
predating the communication
industry of wireless cacophony.
Father coping with
the world out there.
Mother tending hearth
and home
where comfort was the
tone.
What happened to those
old,
supposed golden days or
yore?
Craving more and more,
they slipped away.
Boredom cloned could
not atone the deeper needs
of fire's desire inside.
Inflation came and built
itself
a fortress of restrained,
and thus ambiguous inequity.
The warmth and charm of
home
have been ignited in the
heat.
Rusty nails lying in a
heap.
Ashen-faced, they never
could
delete the harm created.
The once sweet atmosphere
became polluted by one-sided
draughts of fame and industry.
The dream would never be
reality. Happiness became
no more than just another
spending spree. Money
lent,
they bent and broke the
bonds
of honesty. Blinded by
a focus
that had lost locality,
they found
they couldn't see where
they'd
gone wrong.
The dream once found was
lost again,
for loving doesn't live
there anymore...
