Remember the days when people used the payphone,
\nPeople used to insert money and actually pay attention to you.
\nNow we facetime, hangout virtually,
\nShare pictures but never make memories.
\nCall people but when we hang up we regret the time spent,
\nRemember the days of the payphone?
\nHow money actually bought time and a little bit of happiness.<\/p>\n
Remember when our hearts were stereos,
\nWe played music from our heartstrings each time the high was low.
\nCreated music on our own terms and wrote the lyrics to our summer jams,
\nAnd before that, we blasted symphonies from pieces of vinyl,
\nKilled ourselves softly and lived aloud,
\nRemember those days?
\nWhen a single cassette held your memories,
\nAnd pressing play took you on a journey to childhood.<\/p>\n
Remember how obsolete black and white cameras became,
\nNow teenagers use filters,
\nTo try to filter life’s problems.
\nFiltrate the sadness from their eyes and try focus on the lack of color.
\nHow picture-perfect smiles once filled their lenses,
\nBut now perfection isn’t found in the smiles,
\nBut in the likes brought in by the phone camera.
\nDo you remember all these things? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
