Did I just spend
Hours of my youth
Worrying about politics
And the world dying?
I'm gonna be old for a long time,
A kid for 2 more years...
Where's the nearest swingset?

Buying the old paying for youth
Taking you for a pretty face by a rubbish can
A politiican sells you an image

Your life may be old
Few of theirs are

They retire

In your swingset

Sigh! We can't take too much at a time ... there is the need to regenerate ... also being a child on a swing.
I resonate with your powerful words.
Love, Margherita

I still play on swingsets. Worlds are born jsut as often as they die...just supposed to happen so slowly taht no one really notices.
