What will prove to be our big mistake?
|
Short-sighted arrogance all for what sake?
|
Our families to ashes, our ambitions to dust
|
Our progeny in silence thinking "what about us?"
|
But don't forget
|
The dance of neglect
|
The march for empowering prosperity
|
The pain from loss and want for mere lucidity
|
Just maternal residue, and I was there too
|
And maybe so were you
|
When something is won it comes with sacrifice
|
It's there beneath the joy, the glory, and pride
|
And rarely it's acknowledged but in positive light
|
Consciously omitting the losers plight
|
But don't forget
|
The dance of neglect
|
The craving for community that never was met
|
The longing for status and the overture of regret
|
With no one to deter, pathetically unsure
|
Forgetting who they were
|
