Yellowed Pages

I came across an ancient manuscript Long languishing in a cluttered drawer Where hidden memories lay among The flotsam and jetsam of my life, And reading it I realized a forgotten time When idealism was a guiding principle In my way of life, when in my naivete I was convinced I could change the world. I had taken many bits of my life from that chest From time to time, when frantic searching For direction caused me to flail about Too late, I picked up the yellowed pages just now.
