today is like all the days that have passed
i fall backwards to tomorrow
it seems like yesterday will always last
i fall forward into sorrow

my stomach churns, i live in the pit
i am trapped within the burning
feeling sick from swallowing the ****
the same old thoughts returning

it's all the same when you live in yesterday
when you wallow in the sorrow
when you look back just to find your way
it's the same old tomorrow
I know I'm what is called,"an old fogey."
(I prefer "Elder")
Can't help it, age dictates it.
It happens, and will happen, to most of us,
For time runs faster than we do.

I find myself reflecting on "what used to be"-
instead of "what is", "what could be", or "should be"-
"Good times, bad times", all part of living,
in an ever-changing world.

Priorities change....... daily-
Attitudes change...... daily

What we want today,
we discard tomorrow-
"What is", becomes "So what!"
"Unification", has become obsolete!''

A different work ethic..... born!

The "Rally Cry!"...
"All for one, and all for "ME!"
has become the norm........

We will answer for it................

some day!.....
