Our elders lie back and watch the speed at which life progresses.
Sit, think, and chit-chat with the masses.
Confusion, lack of peace, and economy crumbles.
He say-she say, their mind in jumbles.
"YOU control your destiny"
was the thesis used to open the new year.
Loss of control left it up to your peers.

No longer allowed to be a kid.
He's only 10 years old and already asking
"Can I Live?"

Simplicity left with his father.
Only thing remaining with his mother; complications of a new generation.
