I’ve lived my life according
To the Times
Progress was fast
Changes occured
Before proper thought
Train wreck or not
Depends on the
Rememberings
Of those at that time
Yet to still be standing
However battered and bruised
With self-inflicted guilt
And self-created pride
Just like the times
I chased those dreams
I tried new things
I accumulated and consumed
Just like the times
Choices in motion have
The ability to come to a
Screeching hault
Even…. disappear
Those times fell away
After the wreckage
The wreckage brought new life
Thoughtful, considerate innocence
And I’ve lived my life
According to those times
My time My youth
Extreme highs, extreme lows
Hustling to be all
To do all
Those times told us
“Life is short, make the most of it”
So just like those times
I made the most of it
I did all I could
I did some good in those times
Our time raised
New life, new members, new warriors
Giving both hands to grow
New minds, new media, new pride
And just like the times change
We change
With each new life, new member, new mind
Our time becomes their time
To live their lives
According to the Times
