Good Old Days Poem by Lore Me34

Good Old Days



I remember the good old days.
The days when a black man such as myself could not even look at a white woman. Remember what happen to Emmett Till because he did.

Yeah the good old days
When a hard working woman named Rosa Parks got arrested
Just because she refused to get up and give a white man her seat.

The good old days
was when a group of men could burn down a of place worship
And kill four little black girls.

The good old days
When a man like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
got killed only because he had a dream.

I often hear people saying I miss the good old days.
But from my perspective those good old days
was not that good after all! !

No, looking at it from this explanation, you're absolutely right, abominations happened, all over the world, unbelievable things, I never look at a skin colour I always look at the inner person, we are all God's children, and we should love each other. Glad to know you Ronald, and it's a lovely write you've created here. Very worth a read indeed. Love Ernestine XXX
