A Lucky Age?
Nearly thrice have passed,
Another twenty plus? Perhaps
Dreams never fade
When desire rules all?
Another twenty plus? Perhaps
Time’s no matter
When fire burns bright
With renewed ambition?
Time’s no matter,
Spirit still dwells here,
Despite old shouts ringing; Lucky,
If not like us when future greys!
Spirit still dwells here,
Unlike those peers
Whose hope and trust died
Along life’s deceitful ways.
Unlike those peers,
I answer back,
There’s no such thing,
We make our own.
Nay, I scream back!
Still not listening,
Have things left to prove;
Luck’s as dead as you!
