life would be easier

At times when I find I'm fed up with modern life.
Trying to buy some free time,
most of the world living in strife,
I just want to break out of our illogical cage,
of inflated economy, and just turn the page,
to start a new system that is governed by age,
honoring the wisdom of each elder sage,
to turn it all around before they're
lowered into the ground,
pound for pound,
it's far more sound,
than running this whole ship aground,
as our democracy has been drowned.
Puppeteered by cold clowns,
sporting smug smirks and frowns,
without these haters around,
their wars would be unwound,
everyone everywhere would have enough food,
and all talk of politics deemed exceedingly rude.

It may be a stretch for your mind,
to imagine the world run this way,
and yet 500 billion dollars has been just bombed away,
on innocent families of souls just like yours,
who are sacrificed while they pray
the reality of this should have you floored,
we know problems aren't solved by the sword.
The troubles just increase with each dying day,
while paper money is power and the wise have no say.

So next time you see an old man or woman on your path,
humble up and respect them, for they've done the math,
and they've seen the changes and they've learned from mistakes,
they know what not to do, and when to put on the brakes.
So let's let them drive while they're still on the train,
so we all come out alive instead of dying in vain.
Sanity is in the mind of the beholder,
It's no wonder so many elders go crazy,
when an old lady's grandchildren scold her
and every one of them is dumb and lazy.
We're high-tech to the teeth,
and styled out to the moon,
we ignore all of the warnings,
proud and blind as bufoons.
Colon cancer running rampant,
and infertility at an all time high,
but you're still buying happy meals,
until the day you die.
as the litter piles high,
filling up to the sky,
you deny and deny,
to keep living in your lie,
all I can do is ask why, why why?

Life should be easier,
it should be much more fun,
there will be so much more free time,
once we undo what we've done.
So hire an elder and ask their advice,
take it all in and then decide,
if they are worth the asking price,
and i bet you will find,
time after time after time,
that they are worth their weight in gold,
when it comes to direction i say trust in the old,
come next election we should all be so bold,
as to vote for the the eldest,
still of sound enough mind,
to give politicians a rest,
and i am sure we will find,
that with wisdom of the elders,
there will be peace in the world,
and new hope for all mankind.
