something happening here

we started out

with such high ideas,

grand schemes;

big plans;

to do better,

to be different,

from the generation

before us;

no more excuses,

no more bullshit;

singing songs about

4 dead in Ohio,

and carrying on;

talking about

seasons of love,

inside new societies,

with bold, brave

futures;

but somehow,

it came out

just the same,

no matter how hard

we wanted it to be

otherwise;

there is something wrong,

when American soldiers,

are dying everyday

on the streets of Iraq,

for reasons

that were never

what they appeared,

only excuses

for preemptive strikes,

and ulterior motives,

which is exactly

what the real enemy

planned on,

with just a passing mention

on the evening news,

while some

on her way out,

pop star diva,

gets front page headlines,

and is the big news

on all the entertainment

shows,

for flashing her tit,

in a staged pr move,

during the half time show

of the superbowl,

and no one even cares;

yes,

there is something wrong,

or in the words

of a time gone by;

‘something’s happening here,

what it is

ain’t exactly clear’ (Stephen Stills);

but then

it never was,

was it?

let’s hope

the children of today,

finally get it right;

before it is too late.
