ELDER TEARS

@young flames,extinguished
when their range and random program
ran against the FORCE (which was not with them)
Now another is unseen MISSING
face upon a milk carton
strung out after curfew/crew all gone
when elders need be close and warm
protecting feral wolf cub children
World of walls to skateboard upon
Boombox and stereo graffiti
When they fall,only dirt will greet them
Elders out to lunch or leaving
Parties still burn fires raving
Drugs still stronger than our children
laws still cages with no freedom
Only elders sharing wisdom
can milk tears red angry burning
hug and heal with elder wisdom
grieving
