"What Happened?"

"What Happened?" 

"Ridiculous I tell you"

This world has gone quite mad

It's nothing like the golden times

Today seems rather sad

Gone are all the good times

All discipline is lost

Everything that once was great

Now sits and gathers dust

Look around and tell me 

That our lives are better now!

That technology improves our world

Explain to me... Just how?

As all I see is ignorance 

And everything seems wrong

Texts now our speaking form

A thumb replaced a tongue

"Where are all the children?"

They just stare at screens and hide

Exercise is for the old

Its them that go outside

Breathing in pollution 

From the cars that cough their fumes

"Hmmm... 

Maybe that's why all the children

Stay inside their rooms!"

"What happened?"

Everything has gone!

Even summers long ago

Once guaranteed the sun

Now it hides redundant

And nobody seems to care

A future looks uncertain

In this world we cannot share

"It's ridiculous I tell you"

This world is far from better

You can't compare a bleeping text

To the romance of a letter

But things are now so different

Just look around and see

I look and wonder what went wrong?

When so right things used to be
