Good & Bad



remember the good old times
funny how the world chimed
theatre cost just mere dimes
not money but people primed
times have changed, full of crimes
not people but dollars primed
winds betray, altering climes
hearts vanish, heavily grimed
life tastes like tarty limes.

The last line is perfect. Isn't it sad that we don't prime anymore. Nice work.
