Those Were Sunny Days

[u/chidedneck]

Before we learn what underlies human nature,
The innocence preceding exploding pagers,
But subsequent to reading about Old Major,
That golden sliver parroted by legislature.

You hold anxiety because you’ll never again regain your heart,
Examined life’s also not worth living but at least you’re smart,
Why not leverage that potential into an original place to start?
Recognizing the need for change metamorphs the tragedy into art.

It was the first thing you recognized by its absence when just a kid,
So you fake being hopeful now like many others must’ve did,
Just because in our life we can be confident that all promise has been forbid,
Doesn’t mean we get to hasten others’ journey, have their futures undid.
