Silience

Generation To Generation
Passage of Time
our life a legacy reduced
to one single line

Generation to Generation
a beginning and a end
kids, grandkids
whenever will it end

Generation to generation
broken all the time
single moms, drug addicts
murder and shame without end

Generation to generation
Do I really know what my Parents did?
and will I repeat
the shame my grandparents lived

Generation to generation
I look upon the ancient plains
and see peoples who always
lived in one space

Generation to generation
nomads are we
Farmers, workers, genocides and larkers
all find their place in Me

Generation to Generation
When I look at Time
It's not always pretty;
But when I look back
I see what made Me...
Me
