SIMPLICITY NO LONGER EXISTS

Once upon a time it seems away down the line
Life was back then as simple as could ever be..
There were always answers to almost everything
Common sense it reined all the while and free..

Your friends were your friends and they stayed
Real friends all the while once upon a time..
One always had real friends to talk to and with
About anything that might be away down the line..

But after what seems the longest time now ago
One could honestly say they have not got a one..
That they knew deeply within but it's of late true
Those days long gone and over as they are done..

So many live today in a world of their very own
Others can not bath without thanking as if god..
All puppets of an imaginary power on ever so high
Until their very bodies return to once again sod..

The simplicity of calling one in for a cup of tea
And asking them have you a moment friend to spare..
Over a chat and a biscuit or two one once asked
About a concern giving their soul a little air..

Not a word was ever spoken of that conversation
Knowing that one day up the track a little rain..
And they too could need a friend one day true
To ask an opinion about something much the same..

But this simplicity is over gone and long done with
Nobody can really trust another as once long ago..
This simplicity is no longer in existence any more
It's something for several generations they don't know..
