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
