Poem
Don’t you see where you are There was a time you wouldn’t tolerate People thinking for themselves You pass your judgments And you made decisions to never last You were the dominant voice The ideology behind every mans choice You believed in what you knew And you knew no more than what you were told We’ve come too far near for change You were the leader You were a generation of unopposed cheaters You assassinated You told stories of finer fabrication You fought for patriotism, you fought for pride Seldom did you put your integrity aside You made no rights to be considered civil You preyed on anyone who was thought to be liberal You expressed your Marxist theories You denied the working class it’s values You sat me on the back of the bus You told your children to fear me We’ve come too far near for change You formed conglomerates And biased political party’s In 63 you showed very little sympathy Oh how you shook the wind from me You told me I was only a third of a person You scolded that my days would worsen You defined anti-Semitism in less than four years And before this, you path a trail of tears Walk with me this way You know things will not be okay God bless a cease fire For a present day Vietnam provokes war this day We’ve come too far near for change So mothers and children Fathers and pilgrims Settle the sky’s For there are no frontiers left to pry The rivers in which you wade Have been drained too tire From a followers coming of age Script your life, live your days Press your quill to this page Is this what you ask for A patent at your door No more Marconi’s No more hero’s or displeasures Only a world lost and lonely Are we too far near for change
