Poems can be either gay or blue,

They can be bright as day, or ponderous riddles that we struggle to construe,

~

Whatever they are, one thing is for sure,

They hold the passionate key to an emotional journey we for a few minutes must endure.

~

This particular poem goes out to the generations before mine,

In hopes that our age differences might somehow find a way to align;

~

The past generation taught us youngsters how to think,

But as time has taken its delicate course, our generations find it harder and harder to keep in sync.

~

There once was a time where right was right and truth would be trued,

But now the logic is being questioned if true and right all along has been truly misconstrued.

~

Is a woman truly a woman and is a man truly a man,

Is a marriage truly true if the betrothed merely engage, just because they rightfully can?

~

So you see, right and true can be two very different things,

Like the minds of smart generations, trying to combine their everythings.

~

Above it all, one thing is certain, though,

All generations carries great knowledge, that fact we cannot forego.

~

We learn from each generation and my previous I bow down to, to let their wisdom words christen,

But now that I have done so humbly, I wonder out loud; will my previous generation be brave enough to do the same and allow themselves to listen?
