Gone

gone are the days of righteous indignation


gone are the nights of endless dreams

gone are the weekends of non-work related parties


gone are the years of never locking doors


gone are the days of lifelong marriages


gone are the days male female marriages


gone are the days of romantic television heroes


gone are the days of cheap gas and cigarettes


gone are the days of burgers and dogs


gone are the days of only musicians on coke


and, it is said quite often that this is progress,


but I just don’t see it the same way as they do.
