Then And Now Poem by Christopher Chang

Remember when, boys were scared of cooties?
Ironic how now, they chase that bootie
Trying to find a fine hunnie and eat her Frooties
But they're too thirsty, and girls kick they asses like Bruce Lee

Remember when, kids in class drew on their loose leaf?
Kids these days are stressing over home work and lose sleep
The only way to unwind is to drink and open a grey goosey
Trying to sleep too drunk to count jumping blue sheep

They get so high off chlorophyll to remember loosely
They probably forgot the Peanut Gang's Lucy
They probably drunk in love vomiting between two sheets
Somebody proably drugged, probably getting raped between two streets

Are drugs and alcohol really the way to lose grief?
People tell me, they wake up and smoke a doobie
And they freak out with the Mystery Gang and Scooby
Now they're hand is shaking with a pen and can't write on loose leaf

Numb and dumb, they can't even express themselves between two peeps
What's really the difference between two druggies and two peeps?
Seeing kids die from drugs and alcohol is the only truth seen
They want attention for more than two tweets

So they slide a thong between their two cheeks
Pose. Snap. Post. And guys watch them as movies
Sad how they cannot feel except when they grab boobies
Overtly sexualized, kids send each other nudies

Be our future death or be rock stars in movies?
But then again, the rock stars did the drugs and the groupies
So are we just rock stars without the crew and movie?
Or just hollow trees smoking off our dead loose leaves?
