Sorry
I’m sorry we have grown too old
to perch on your laps and hang on every word,
that we can no longer distract ourselves
with paper dolls and “green eggs & ham”.
I’m sorry we’ve lost ourselves
to a world of drugs and sex and rock & roll,
breaking the rules and ignoring our elders’ advice.
I’m sorry we’re too scared
to speak up for what we believe in,
that our eyes and ears and lips are closed,
to all the pleas of the world.
