Changing Times Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

Perverse and foolish, discontent.
Naïve but far from innocent
the bored young people of today
undisciplined in any way.
Seeking always new sensations
which might cure their chronic boredom.
Stirring up passing emotions.
Pursuing gluttony and whoredom.
The wheel of fate will slowly turn
repeating ancient history.
An age of discipline return
Curtailing excess liberty
Men swing between the two extremes
and always have done so it seems.
