Hey Old Man, Slow Down
HEY OLD MAN, SLOW DOWN!
There’s no hurry
The struggle parade has passed
Vain youth is over
I have decided at last
Those triumphal huzzahs
From favored industry’s brass,
The shatter and stomp,
Are mere crude noises at last
Let the world rock on
Verbal butchery ignore
The cacophony!
I’ll listen to such no more
There’s no hurry
Save heart, veins, ears from the blast,
Save my sanity
I have decided at last
