Que Sera Sera

As the power they assumed

they had over this me-first

generation swiftly diminishes

where is your grasp…

your safety net

as you read of mothers

tossing their infants into

rat infested dumpsters

standing on street corners

looking for the ultimate high

that will take them out of their

dismal reality, albeit briefly.

How bleak is their future

as they relentlessly search

for cloud nine?

We watch…and do nothing.
