We Are The Kids Of Yesterday

by RainbowSlider   May 28, 2007


We are the kids of yesterday.
Its still us; Our hair is just gray.
We don't walk nearly as much.
Sometimes we are out of touch.

We can still manage to smile.
Some teeth missing for a while.
We have learn how to adapt.
But we don't take much crap.

We have been kicked around.
Some of even knocked down.
We have all been in fights.
For defending human rights.

We are just children at heart.
But we don't look the part.
We are like old people now.
Time got to us somehow.

We are the kids of yesterday.
But we like to laugh and play.
We are different than other kids.
But we like to stay in their midst.

    A very nicely, gently structured poem, I really liked the ideas and words used to create the moods and themes used. I liked this one, one of the best I have read of yours.... eventhough I have only read about 5 of them hehe. It just means I'll have to read them all.
    a definate {5/5}
