Poem Artwork





Gone are the way
Things were-
No security, bag searches,
Shoes coming off,
At airports-
Friends, family, lovers
Could say goodbye

Gone are the way
Things were-
No metal detectors,anywhere
Body scans,
No set rules
For the security
Of our country at hand

Children and young adults
Will never know
The way things were-
The freedom of travel
Being carefree
In our everyday lives-
Gone... .. .
