    Once upon a time....

    Once upon a time, leaders commanded
    Now dealers rule the world.

    Once upon a time, quality was craftsman’s pride
    Now it is departmental kiosk.

    Once upon a time, mouse was considered untouchable
    Now it is handheld pest.

    Once upon a time, wisdom was taught
    Now it is flashed on T-Shirts

    Once upon a time, teachers taught and student learnt
    Now teacher trade and student consume.

    Once upon a time, population was problem
    Now it is untapped growing market.

    Once upon a time, competition brought best product in market
    Now it bring worst people in society

    Once upon a time, there was Golden rule
    Now there is gold that rules.

    Once upon a time, telling truth helped you
    Now it is bad promotional strategy.

    Once upon a time, beauty was in eye of beholder
    Now it the glossy business to earn

    Once upon a time, smoking was injuries to health
    Now, it is core need for success.

    Once upon a time, more clothes on girls enhanced beauty
    Now lesser and shorter clothes beautify her.

    Once upon a of time, government was pure and sex was dirty
    Now both make no difference.

    i like the essence, but i disagree with the notion that life has been degraded over time. Many of the negative things which you mention have always existed: greed, lies. Also, i am repulsed by the notion that sex should be dirty. it is a natural God-given desire, beautiful. My favorite lines were the ones about craftsmen and teachers.
