It didn't use to be this way

 "It didn't use to be this way. 

Things was different, and yet stayed the same."

A stifled yawn and roll of eyes

As has been so since time was sunrise.

But this young sceptic knows much more

Than his grandfather, fed on such 

Philosophies as thought, and reason; 

Doubting even what his parents say

Is treason; how can that be so when I have

Learnt so much from what you tried

To stop me ever getting close to knowing? 

It didn't use to be this way

But now it's easy and so clear

To see straight through our parents' truth 

Which was, remember, handed down to them

From people born a hundred years before.

We're past that now. And yes, I know

These sentiments will come around again.

The difference is I want them to; 

Break down, disprove and doubt my thoughts

And make the world your own.
