do you remember a time when it was a better place to live

I remember when news agents had a stand out the front

 

with Papers under a rock

 

You took a Paper and left the money on the stand

 

Now days they would steal the money,the papers and the stand

 

and throw the rock through the window as they were running away

A time when women weren't allowed to vote, indigenous people weren't classed as citizens, we deferred everything to England, divorce was illegal, unmarried mothers were ostracized, homosexuals were imprisoned.

 

When we had 4 channels on the TV and they all ceased at 10pm. When trains stopped at 9pm. When pubs closed early and didn't allow women to sit at the same bar.

 

You mean those times?

 

I'll take the bad with the good and be grateful for progress thanks.
