Modern Times

Today everybody sleeps
With everybody else,
Sex is now mechanical
And pornography sells,
Swingers jump from bed to bed,
Soon, love and marriage will be dead,
Single parent homes are on the rise,
Divorce is rampant,
And the family unit is in demise,
Soon kids will be cloned
According to wish
And originate in some Petri dish,
Raised and trained by the State,
Neither by parents
Nor on some family estate,
Huxley's 'Brave New World'
Will be here,
Give a cheer, give a cheer!
