Restless Desperate People

by ANM - Pisces

"If I knew then what I know now"...
At a certain age it makes you cringe.
All the things you'd have done or said
Are lost in the "lunatic fringe"
As a child, the world seemed important
What "they" said or "they" did was, "It"
You were just being the child that you were
While the powers-that-be spilled their shit!
Various stations while growing gave you comfort
A kind ear or call meant they KNEW!
Those "elders" who made you think they knew "more"
You now know were just as STUPID as you!
Now, after years as you ponder
And wonder what EVER made sense
The night-mare comes true
Now you "know" what you "knew"
But without any recompense.
