THE SUNSET OF NORMALITY

As the last ripple of sunset
fades beneath the twilight sky
I look upon the twinkling stars
as a tear forms in my eye.
Remembering the good old days
and how things used to be
a million vivid memories
that mean so much to me.
Our lives are unpredictable,
our paths often tough to navigate,
made harder by this current world
full of vitriol and hate.
Where common sense is frowned upon,
acceptance hard to find,
a generation of entitlement
in which anxiety fuels the mind.
I fear for our children,
whose best years are yet to come.
What awaits them in the future?
Will they escape the system's thumb?
