The March of Us

A time that possesses my introspections,
          contributes a pastime,
      noting parents made donations,
                    ~The March of Dime.

That coinage seemingly flipped from then to now,
          new technology prime,
      trials social media vow
                    ~The March of Time.

Hollywood legends are noxious, paid, and made
          silver screen pantomime,
      chaos begets morals decayed,
                    ~The March of Crime.

Protect the innocence from the innocent,
          offbeat nursery rhyme,
      as to culture spiral descent,
                    ~The March of I'm.

The motivation for our rebelliousness,
          increased in our lifetime,
      reversal roles to righteousness
                    ~The March We Climb.
