Asset To Society -- A Scary Phrase

Who defines "value" in humans -- of any age.

To who do we apply this "measure"?

This gift of long life which we used to highly treasure?

To aged 16 who tell us they can drive so let them vote...

Raise the level of responsibility, consequences, too.

Bear the costs of your demands to be "grown"

Get out there on your own!

Give Us Your Homes! 

Scream the youngest climbing the hill.

They have no wisdom, only the "will"

We live in the future you live in the past

Our ways gave you hope to not be "the last".

We are rising, we want, we need, we deserve

You've given, you've gotten, now we need to be served.

Go To  "Aging Communities" where over the Hill

Defines 40 as verging on needing more pills.

Move on, move away, 

You've taken and had.

NOW . . .  give up, give in, give it . . . to "ME"

We want what we want,

You've taught us this way

We won't wait . . . NOT a single more day

Most of all -- GO AWAY

Who makes these decisions, these policies?

Look ahead and behind and surely you'll see. . .

 

Generations before were taught "you have to wait"

Today we teach youth it's all within your grasp

Just reach out and you'll have . . . 

Whatever you want is yours for the taking . . . 

It isn't always necessary you do the making.

Where are YOU on this journey of self over others?

If you aren't included, raise your voice

The others are shouting so loud there's no choice

Some say

Each day we draw closer to our time of devaluation. 

I prefer to believe

We are all necessary and provide variation.
