From October, 2015
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!.....
