Altering

John Prophet

 

Altering.

Pathways 

adjusted,

rerouted.

What 

was

no more.

Time.

Constant 

tinkering.

Circuits

plastic 

being

reworded,

re-wired.

Experiences 

add up.

Tweaking

perception.

Tools,

evolving 

attitudes.

Time.

Takes

time.

Old vs

new.

Gulf of

perception.

Generational

divide.

Reality’s 

creation.

Generational 

divide.

Years

in the 

making.

Smile

at their

all knowing

innocence.

      That generational divide is there but respect for the innocence that can be in our lives is resounding.

        'Generational
        divide.
        Reality’s
        creation.
        Generational
        divide.
        Years
        in the
        making.
        Smile
        at their
        all knowing'
        **innocence
        sprouting: from
        that all-consuming
        ideological cesspool
        with promised, ease
        of nihilism's, trending
        traits, of wilful
        submission
        we perversely named
        Progression...!**
        (such a great write, dear poet!
        forgive me, I couldn't help
        but add
        my overzealous 2 cents worth)
