Another One

Another one going up
Another one on its way

Through the perfect blue sky
On this perfect summer's day

The wealthy and well to do 
Got passage their own way

Now the brightest, educated, professional young are being flown away

What it must be like to look down; to see through their gaze

Pity given to us as we will and are made to stay.

Can't afford the new life bill; government insurance is our chain

The planet will die in the next ten years or so they say. The new life costs so much and we can't pay!

A barrier must be set and that barrier is our age? 


Another one going up
Another one on its way
