"Can You Rememeber, When We Were Younger?"
I don't pray anymore
spirits knock on my door
i do not recall
the last time i fell.
sticks and stones may brake bones
we swapped are toys for mobile phones
can you remember when we were younger?
I remember when we were young
we would play war with sticks
and toy guns.
but i cant come out to play no more
i don't play childish games anymore.
I offer a truce
but you cant handle the truth
I never played well with the other boys and girls
are youth was bypassed for other thrills and spills
i cant continue no more
my hands grasp the handle on the door
but will we remember when we are older?
We used to party to the Max
and now all we pay is tax
we are fading from view
i don't want to be scared anymore
we fall through cracks in the floor
Can you remember when we were younger?

Yes, the way things change, they do!
You know, I am, in some ways just like a child still! And the memories can be very very vivid.
Guess it happens when one grows older
(remember the suede song "Because were young"?)

The innocence of childhood and the harsh reality adulthood brings.

Nice writing Marcus. I often recall my younger days, and how I couldn't wait to grow up. Now I look back and wish I could always stay in that carefree place.

Indeed, true words adam, its funny i couldn't wait to grow up and when you get there, you question was it worth it?, should i have enjoyed being a child more, always had one foot in the past, and one in the future, never the present.

Like peeking into a time capsule... yes, Marcus, I do remember. But reminiscing is so much lovelier when the background music is made up of the words you've written here. Even the graphic (!!!! loved those damn things) takes me back. Much appreciation for the share!
