The Gap
the generations are diverse
as different as can be
generation gaps exist
in every family tree
Grandma had the radio
Hitler and two wars
"sacrifice" and "stay in line"
the first co-ed bars
My Mama saw Vietnam
Woodstock and the moon
television.. birth control
and phones in every room
Now generation x is here
and hero's don't exist
but we have the Internet
and fancy e-mail lists
the millennial's have seen so many things
Katrina and face-book
you scoff - but know our purple hair
invite those second looks
each generation changes things
not always for the best
but heart to heart and hand to hand
we give the gap a rest
