The Pied Piper

The Pied Piper

I could rid you off all of your rats,

But you would never compensate.

So, I chose your children.

While there are still too young to hate.

***. Β ***. Β ***. Β ***. Β ***. Β ***. Β ***. Β ***. Β ***. Β 

Not for some perverted pleasure,

You simple minded fool.

It's for their future,

Of NOT being a tool!

***. Β ***. Β ***. Β ***. Β ***. Β ***. Β ***. Β ***. Β ***.

However you have done well.

I do applaud your cause,

Stopped a War in Vet Nam!

Raised Grandchildren, through menopause.

***. Β ***. Β ***. Β ***. Β ***. Β ***. Β ***. Β ***. Β ***. Β 

Yes! You got that fighting spirt!

Deep within your soul.

We all have had ENOUGH!

With the public opinionΒ Β poll.

***. Β ***. Β ***. Β ***. Β ***. Β ***. Β ***. Β ***. Β *** Β 

The young have the most to gain.

The seniors an old score to settle.

Time for a generation to earn,

A distinguished service medal.

***. Β ***. Β ***. Β *** Β  *** Β  *** Β  *** Β  *** Β  ***

Our forefathers beg of you.

PLEASE! Grow some courage.

We ourselves were concerned,...

And often discouraged.

People of our future... ... ... ... ... ...

I talk to you at last.

Did my words go un-noticed?

Or,...somehow,....someway?,,,,Change your past???
