Lost Generations

submitted by prototype to whatever 5 hoursApr 30, 2025 22:09:50 ago (+2/-0)     (whatever)

Hold my hand ever so close
Hold my hand my dear
And remember who I once was
As I slowly disappear.

Hold my hand my dear
And remember not to fear
We who were once and now no more
All slowly disappeared.

Like the sunset which is fading
Like the joy mingled with your tears
Slowly, softly over these colorless days
unnumbered with the years.

Everyone says in parting
Wait, I'll find you again someday
But I have no more strength
To give to a weary world
Whose colors have all turned grey.

What for life are we building
To watch it all fade away
And in the parting like the fading flame
Greet the darkness of our final day.

Weary world this parting
Where merriment is no more
Cold comfort in the longing for
To have the things that make life worth clinging
so long in striving, we greet deaths door.

Travelers on a journey
With dirty feet no more.
On the earth we tread
To find our meager place
The earth upon us tread
And all around entomb
Life is the process of becoming dead.

All generations are lost
if lost generations there ever were
Nothing generations will hold in the hands, or in their heads
Robbed of everything that makes man a man
Except their daily bread.
