Good old days

I hear people say the phrase good old days,
and i would say, sorry, folks listen to me,
for, i believe the newer days are much better!

I would say kids love their parents much more now,
and why not? They bend their backs to raise me up,
and then babysit my children, while i'm away making big bucks,
Alas, i can never repay their debt,
for when they need me, i'm either away or my kids need me.

I would say wives and husbands have equal rights now,
In the old days, While the husbands oppressed the wives,
all they could do was sulk in the dark with tears rolling down,
it is no longer one person oppressing the other, it is equal oppurtunity,
The one with the larger voice wins, the one with no restraint wins,
and if both of them were unrestrained and louder, dont panic,
for you can divorce and try again.

I would say friends love each other much more now,
and why not? who can they share all their photos with
or gossip on the phone twenty hours a day,
when photos and phones are free,
Alas, i can never repay their debt,
for when they need me,my phone goes busy.

I would say we have become less brutal,
and why not? In the old days, they thrust those big knives
into each other which were heavy and take forever to kill,
but now, thanks to the modern science,
i can wipe off a nation from the planet at the click of a button,

I would say social awareness has gone way up,
for in the old days, it would take ages for that old,
tired, pigeon to carry the news ,
but now, i get at the click of google,
i can find out who got killed in the college shootout
how many kids died out of mal nourishment and hunger.

The only problem with the newer days seems to be,
that people have been attached to their ipods and laptops,
and none seems to care for the person next to you,
And there goes another society defunct, just like the romans and the greeks.
