Where were we headed
When we left it all behind
The thunder of our youth
The hormones of our prime

Freely we roamed, ages so high
Scoffing at the idea of norm
Repetitive nuclear existence
Meaning grow up and conform

Wearing the blissfulness of denial
We disavowed the pure to defile
We refused the road of integrity
And shun the ways of longevity

And so we pay
As our bodies ailing age
Yet
How glorious were those days!
