Sense Sonnet - Steamer

1962 - Half Century Ago

Americanism is lost.
The family unit is trashed.
Immorality is the cost
Of decent values getting smashed.
Big government does run amok,
Republican and Democrat.
More and more of each hard earned buck
Is taxed away for this or that.
The kids just care of selfish stuff.
Overindulging is to blame.
Seems that there's never time enough
To smell the roses - tiz a shame.

'Twas the year, 1962.
So 50 years later - what's new?
