Twenty first century expectations
Here we all are
in the twenty first century,
its not all, we thought it would be.
Been round the world,
had some experience,
been back to uni and got a degree.
Faces remembered,
some best forgotten,
some that you wont,
want to, see again.
Memory’s of places,
that you once dreamed about.
Memory’s of places you wont go again.
Across the water,
people are crying,
they shout for your help,
in the dark of the night.
Safe in your home,
an Englishman's castle.
No one can hurt you,
so you’ll be all right.
You could be a teacher,
in front of a classroom.
Or maybe a baker
needing some bread.
You could be a banker,
safe in some plush office.
No! you are a mother,
collecting your dead.
