WHEN WILL IT BE? (Abecedarius)

And now I remember back in those days,
Beginning from elementary school till subsequent stages,
Chiefly of the maxims we hear our teachers say:
‘Do your best and leave the rest!’ stressed the sages,
Especially: ‘you are the leaders of tomorrow’…geez!

Aa-aa-ah, you are the leaders of tomorrow? Huh?
But I was a juvenile then, now I’m much more older, or
Could it be that we were being fooled then? Duh!
Do we see those words in their real manifestation? Aw…
Even today; the same CLIQUES of those days are still up there.

And when will it indeed be? Huh? Hmm… the vast
Best of our times are here already, but those expectations
Cannot be attained…oops! Time is running out fast,
Don’t you think it’s high time these old-farts went to recession?
Enchanted as we seem, these seats they’ve made royal thrones.

Alas! The young-bloods seem to just stare on in vulnerability too
But now is our time to wake up and take our rightful place, pow!
Can’t say we do not need the old-folks tho’, ‘cause we sure do,
Dynamic hands and brains are just of highest necessity now,
Embark on this HIGHWAY, comrades; let’s make our calling sure…
