NaPoWriMo 2022 - Day 22

 April 22, 2022 - write a poem that uses repetition. 

Used to be

It used to be
    that wilderness felt more untamed
    and nature's splendor was unmaimed
    and forests weren't engulfed in flame

It used to be 
    we got more for a dollar
    people answered a caller
    and cars were much smaller

It used to be
    that funerals were rarer
    that campgrounds were barer
    and life felt much fairer

it used to be
    the oceans were colder
    there was an earth before we sold her
    no one thought they'd grow older

It used to be...
