There were past life-styles
To forget
For fashions change with time.
Privilege was not regret,
Nor happiness a crime.
Some stances of today
Are of concern.
Memories are kept at bay
Until we can discern,
What to teach from the past?
Can we really know?
Wind the memory tapes back fast
Then play them real slow.
Images to haunt the mind;
This we will inherit.
On screens they’ve left behind.
Much of it has merit.
Much of it! Oh! Much of it!
So much of it about us.
Let us treasure every bit.
Or earth may die without us!
