Mounting questions, answers left unsaid

Messages opened, often misread

A child of our time, a light in our eye

So much harder it is as time goes by

Emotions ignored, never addressed

Scars that won’t heal from the acid test

A stiff upper lip, an ‘I’m alright Jack’

Hides the anti social panic attack

Eyes opened by the passing of time

Even though there’s no reason or rhyme

A birth & a death take from me I’m done

‘No respect’ is the mantra. Follow, come

See for yourself, the decay, distress

We’re not to blame, although nonetheless

We’re all victims of a social mistake

Time to slow down, gently press on the brake
