They've Stolen Your Song Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

What can it mean to a new generation,
when lessons in history
—fail to inspire

What can it mean to a new generation,
when watered down values
—keep dousing the fire

What can it mean to a new generation,
as men hunt each other
—their food sources gone

What can it mean to a new generation,
when the lyrics are distant
—and they've stolen your song

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March,2014)
