Too Far Out Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Rude they are
The electronic plugged-in kids!
With scholarships to induce us all
With a preview of a future
Some say can not get worse...
But that 'worse' isn't near,
It's already here.
And they will be the ones,
We have left to get things done!
That's frightening.
That's sad!
That should wake up everyone...
When the soaring price to pay for life,
Will get beyond any payment of a tab!
They are 'now' out of control...
Too far out to be punished,
Or scold!
We left those tasks to a government.
That did not treat this investment like gold!

And that rhyming is the result of bad timing!
