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
