Now the Individual is key
Leaves
have fallen from life's tree!
No fun
encounters on the bus
Eye contact
fixed on screens, not us!
Dear Belgium’s
motto seems waylaid
Its “Strength
in Unity”* betrayed;
As
Generation Z advances
Each forced
to cope and take his chances …
In many
ways we’ve gone off track
So, Amy’s plaintive “Back to Black”**
Expresses
in poetic form
A disconnect
- fond memories torn…
What
happened to old “Common Sense”
Who ought
to come to our defence?
Each paddles
his canoe alone
More friends reduced to mobile phone.
Unless I am
much mistaken
A backward
step has now been taken,
Is this
selfish streak forever?
We’re stronger
when we pull together…
