Yesterday Has Something To Teach

We look at the distant days And call them outmoded, We look at the present days And say yesterday has faded. This we often say in a clamour That carries a feel of glamour. We turn a slack eye to our culture; Upon the base rock, our empire we build. We've turned ourselves into hungry vultures, Looking for ways to feed on others field. Why? I ask, I cry and decry We turn a vicious look to our bosom And made it hell. We made ourselves chicks At the mercy of hungry hawks. This I decry and cry. Our yesterday has something to teach, Knowledge we should hook onto, Wisdom we should clutch onto. Let's allow yesterday's smile Give us the light through the dark To true independence.
