Wish You Were Here Revised
Getting old
The aches and pains more prevalent
I look back now
Family and friends
Gone
Best friends...
Taken too soon
I wonder
Why
Those who had tried to spread the word
Called home
Their voices
Silenced
Our leaders
Taken
Getting into "good trouble"
No more
For those taken
In the streets
In their homes
In the waves of compliance
My muse
My rock
My mom
No more
For all of those transitioned
For all of those lives taken
For all of those in a better place
Wish you were here
inspired by the song from Pink Floyd
