Hot



Full speed proceeding heedlessly
The leaders are insulting
Calling us all appalling names
Playing small-minded mind games
Creating negativity

Thus needlessly resulting
In uncivil society
In the incivility
Of this dystopia we see

Mad at the power-maddened
Disempowered and sad we get
Quiet trying to forget
We thought they would know better when
We should have known better then

On unreality TV
They believe in cruelty
Who leave us their worst to regret
Incredulous then saddened

In the incivility of
Those who have forgotten love
When it has never been this hot
We wonder if this is it
Under an unforgiving sky

Hoping then but not a lot
We find us left behind us by
All the immaturity
Of after all the elderly

I got old but I outgrew
What they will not so I go on
Like the hard way taught me to
Here to stay until they are gone
Then to see what we can do

Hot getting hotter than ever
But better late than never
Intergenerationally
Doing what we can to be
