Deprecated

 

We have sold the old furniture

beautifully crafted with nurture

We have thrown out the baby

with the bath water completely

God has faded into our lost landscape

and nothing has replaced his divine space

Culture and heritage are now scorned

and no longer a part of our daily norm

We seldom read, write, play an instrument or paint

and not one thing has replaced the saint

Churches stand empty with new Gods to replace

because there is more of them they need the space

Our identity, pride and individuality are gone

as we merge into a vacuum of little or none

Modern souless architecture does abound

as beautiful buildings no longer are around

Porticos and arches are lost in time

to be replaced with glass and stainless steel to rhyme

Music has become a moronic beat

as so few occupy the piano seat

Only a remnant of our former glory remains

God alone knows what the future contains
