By Not Being Forceful Poem by James McLain

There was no better time to,
raise a family then when you raised yours.
Tha national debt was naively doable.
The poor could still live off the land.
There was no shame in trading,
a pig for a lamb.
Mother's were ashamed of their ignorance
and made sure you received an education.
And father's gathered love from his children.
Children were born with morals.
Their grandparents had integrity.
Where is your kingdom of heaven now?
