As a member of a generation several times removed from the present day I am coming closer to the realisation that the language I was taught is foreign in comparison to now.
What’s the
Message
I wonder what
we’ve come to,
when a lion
is a tiger,
the signal
sent out is new,
but the
meaning is unclear.
It used to be
easier,
when
receptors didn’t need to woke,
when the
statement was clear,
and the words
were as they were spoke.
But now lion
or tiger could be tabby,
historic
positions are not kosher,
decade of free
love shabby,
how do oldies
become adapter?
Aren’t we all
simply humans,
including preferences
and faults,
communicating
with other humans,
faced with unexpected
jolts.
Society’s impositions
not needed,
fashionable attitudes
keep out,
leave us to relate
unheeded,
we can manage
without your shout.
