21st Century
This is our generation
Growing up newer and faster
Leaving the old fashioned
Behind to choke on the dust
We forget those who just can’t keep up
The weak, old dementia inflicted
Whose clueless looks we just ignore
Whose milky eyes are dismissed and passed by
Their pleas are turned away
Their feeble voices struggle to be heard
Above our blasting radios
And zooming, new cars
Everyday new things come
And we rejoice
Everyday old things dafe
And we just watch dry- eyed
Can we find it in our hearts
Our hardened high tech hearts
To remember them when their gone?
Remember as they were
Strong and passionate
proud, with the chivalry we’ve been missing
Carrying the strength we lack now
And we fill that void with parties and lies
But I will remember them always
So who will stand with me?
To keep them alive in dreams and memories
To live on through us
And hope the future does the same
