Another Generation

Contributed by Katherine Baker

Group violence said we want peace,
then peace more violence released.
In confusion the truth decreased,
and the old ways begun to cease.

Perhaps we just waited too long,
watching some things, not wise but wrong.
The ways of old which once were strong,
some right, some wrong, were not prolonged.

The ways of now, some good, some bad,
this sorrow we've already had.
Forgot the good of old to add,
another generation sad.
