middle children
Updated: Nov 3, 2019
Born too late to explore earth
too early to explore the stars
we’re middle children
no great war
no purpose
I’m homesick for a place I’m not sure exists.
A new frontier, a new world
it’s hard to stay on the ground
all the greed and destruction
we’re seen as no more than a consumer
one individual consumer among 7 billion.
Deep down craving responsibility
a cause to fight for
a group to belong to
yet the cynicism and irony
which pervades the world
prevents us from ever truly
becoming invested in any of these.
I can’t even see the stars in the city
but on a dark night I look up
I can only hope one day we get there
but for now I’ll do my part
this is our new frontier
high above the world
where regardless of abuse
hopelessness and pain
you are the one in control.
The human spirit lives on.
