They’ll call me argumentative
Stubborn and rebellious
They’ll pucker up at all this pluck
They’ll shake their heads at my conviction
And say things are not black and white
They’ll carry on with their festivals and philosophy classes
They will study evolution and fear technology with the same
intensity as their lust for it
They will think me crazy
But never complacent
Maybe it’s not the time or the place
To declare this country as much mine as anyone’s
And in this day and age of information youngsters hardly
want to choose one thing
But I know wrong and right and I know relativity
And no matter how fancy your words or how studied your talk
I will never believe in the relativity of ok-ness of
choosing money, gas and power over life
It’s not ok
It’s time to stand up
