Life Yesterday

  1. More on this poem:
    Notice that the words in "Life Today" go down, while "Life Yesterday" go up, thus revealing my opinion on which time period was better. Don't get me wrong, I love technology, but sometimes I wish we could all just slow down and enjoy life (like we did as children...you know, the good ole days).
