The Family

we use to call them loved ones,
yea,,,, are brothers side by side
but what happened to the family
has a part of it just died ?

I look out on these busy streets
cant tell who is who.
What happened to the family ?
does that question bother you ?

we use to sing so many songs
standing round a tree,
but now the seasons changing
along with the family

the church doors now are closing
the gun shop has opened wide
with a sign that says a special
wont you come inside

I remember yesterday
football Monday night
but now the family disappears
it’s vanished in a fight
I remember yesterday
and that Sunday morning song
but now the church door’s closing
as the family says so long ,,,,

we use to call them loved ones,
but now , whose giving birth.
What’s happened to the family ?
what is it really worth ?

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
