I Say Hello

Poem ... I Say Hello

Things are changing
From what I once knew
To unforeseen consequence
Driven by the few

Tap dance on credit
Buy this, buy that
Slide across stage
Tipping of the hat

I know they will like me
In our large new abode
Expensive car in front
To country club we strode

Does the rest even matter
Those going extinct
Dragging us with them
All gone in a blink

I look up where once
Birds filled the sky
I say hello
They say goodbye

Rabid Poet
