Yesterday vs Today

     Why is yesterday
        no better than today

     'Tis true in each and every generation
        ‘cross demographics, populations

     From Socrates’ time right up until now
        ‘t's so hard to get hired help these days’ ~ and how

Good switch at the ending Gershon. I was fooled. Good rhyming with the couplets
