It seems this past year, one of great maturity and experiences
Has brought insight for the future
It is has told me what will happen based on the observations of day to day life
And I have come to a conclusion
That as day by day the hours pass forget nothing or all will be lost
Time will be swept from up under you feet and before you know it
There will be none left to live
As I get older it causes my heart rate to increase to a level
In which every little detail is a blur
Events have happened that I cannot recall
And I am left with the Alzheimer's I do not have
For this conclusion would be wise for all to hear
But most will see it as a blur and for them
The end is near
This nation moves at a rate incomprehensible to man
Until he see's it for himself
I did not know it as a boy, the expression "time flies"
This is not true, for time cannot fly but your mind can
It can lose track of all its doing and forget the good things in life
Until one day a sniff from a rose will be looked over
As that rose dies in his hand
Half a centenaries worth of technology, in number
Far exceeds the millennia of inventions in past
It has consumed us like a great beast
And we have made no observation that we are rotting inside
This is our death
It's funny for if you do not keep up you are left a blur
Forever forgotten, except in pictures
But even those betray us, as they too disintegrate with time
In the world of today the only way is be remembered to do something horrible
Or be president of course
It's funny isn't it, that we can only recall the bad things
Or the things that do not matter
In 50 years when we recall 9/11 the entire nation will be able to tell you
The leader and group responsible for this tragic day
But I guarantee the new populace cannot name the leader of the country at the time
Unless of course he make his mark on history in the same manor
I recall an event of an officer and his K9 being killed
I have to ask what is wrong when more people remember
The name of the dog and not the officer
The damned dog had no family that wept for him
Nor Friends he left behind
This is the tragedy I leave behind
I cannot bear to live in a society that will remember my K9 and not me
Did the dog save a life, did he discover anything intelligent
Or did he lick his butt all day
This is what anger's me and frightens me
This is my unmarked grave
We are all arrogant Hippocrates that cannot keep a story straight
We flip flop more than a patty and would sell
Our own mothers for the right price
I hope that this will not be a blur
That day by day you look back and see nothing
And look forward for change
The digression of our society will be our downfall
As we cannot stand for what we believe in
You say YES I CAN!
From behind a back lit computer screen
Or the middle of a mob
Muslims are the last to die for the cause they believe in
EVEN if they are the last!
You may have become angered and want to cut the head off the snake
But the head of the snake is YOU and
If you want change, you have to do it your self
ALONE!!!
