All my heroes are dead
Nothing remaining in their stead
Breathing life from a time ago
It was a time I will never know
My mind traces their notes
It was a time different than now
Time was simpler and less sophisticated
Unlike now where everybody is suffocated
Homes, jobs, debt
Life being at times a woeful bet
Now things are changing
Everybody stopping to spend and spend
Perhaps we have seen the end
End to greed, end to superficiality
Could there exist such a banality?
Who knows?
Are we victims of life and its throes?
Only then can we suppose
Returning to a simpler life
One without strife
Those heroes of long ago
Perhaps they did know
When to say "No!"
What we reap is what we sow
Along those lines I will go
Nothing remaining in their stead
Breathing life from a time ago
