Women and men understood each other
No arguments between sister and brother
Political differences could be set aside
The moon and the stars fell from the sky
Teachers made the most money
After divorce, no alimony

No one could sue for pain and suffering
Lawyers told the truth, refusing to sin
Bullies were silenced by laughter and joy
Children played outside without video toys
School was fun and a place to learn
Instead of reprimanding those out of turn

Parents stayed home to play with their kids
Employers were honest, not sinister and crooked
Folks worshipped outside, stripped of dogma
Prayed to four corners without a partner
No score keepers existed to track losses and wins
No secular person worried about sin

Love replaced hate till the final sunset
Peace overcame war after no more threats
Hope surpassed fear for the weak and frail
Faith superceded doubt for those who failed
People lived by the Golden Rule
Wisdom prevailed to silence the fool
