Stress levels do seem to build,
as everything is done with haste.
We even eat our meals at work,
so fast its hard to even taste.

Our daily lives are so stressful,
it makes us snap at little things.
For even at our children's games,
dads square off take some swings.

How can modern technology,
that makes our lives more easy.
Cause so much hostility,
and some to be quite sleazy.

We've taken God out of schools,
and made sinners more acceptable.
Some music is filled with violence,
so the children are more susceptible.

Have we really moved on forward,
in this world that we have created?
Or have we made ourselves a pit fall,
in which most everyone else is hated.

It seems that the more we get,
to make our life less stressful.
It's becoming a whole lot harder,
to achieve our goal and be successful.

It seems we lost our roll models,
now that both our parents work.
Just so they can own these things,
which can cause them to go berserk.

Yes even our skilled craftspeople,
are losing much of the old skills.
I guess the pleasure of seeing our work,
does not give us those same old thrills.

But one thing that still appeals to me,
is to sit down in peace and quiet.
Grab me a good old book to read,
and not worry about some fancy diet.
