Why?

By cadymae

What is it about late middle age
That costs ladies the lower half of their pants?

Why do individuals herd together
Only to yell about their differences?

Why do we rewrite history to gloss over our flaws?
Cannot we wonder, resolve and then improve?

Why must every generation only reap improvements in
the technical but not spiritual?

Not only God is dead, so is culture
and every generation is less well off now.

Cresting the bell curve en mass, we decline together.

    Toreador pants and empire waists - get used to it, the universe is expanding, but not our brains, and our faith shrinks from inattention and false gods - cheers!
