------An Outside View------
The world is changing more every day
and I'm just dragging behind
Today's train of thought has left the station
and its tracks don't parallel mine
I'm stuck somehow in a bad situation,
was I born a little too late
I don't comprehend societies acceptance
of things that don't merit debate
The apathy level increases each year,
will mankind soon go to pot
Was respect and honor I learned as a kid
an education in meaningless rot
One of my hopes was to live to a hundred
and see how much we evolved
But if I don't awake to another tomorrow
at least "my" disillusion is solved
