For where are the elders of the West?
Our forerunners discredited;
Of policy, adhering to youthful interest;
A measure to see our truth, is edited.
What of the elder's role as gatekeeper?
Bereft we are of cautionary direction;
Bereft we are of cautionary direction;
Without them we're a mere sleeper;
deprived of future protection.
Ethical extermination of our elderly;
Nursing homes to keep them hidden.
Prescription drugs to keep them sedentary.
Growing old's, corporately forbidden.
No one questions the vaunted youthful;
Their sexualization a constructed beauty;
Profit eugenics maliciously untruthful.
Social ignorance sworn public duty.
Bombarded we are by youthful images;
Illusions of purity and innocence.
These mental warfare scrimmages;
Reward adolescent insolence.
Our elders impoverished;
Denied merit, naively reserved.
Their lives, systematically demolished;
Acknowledge them; their place well deserved.
