a step back for perspective

Railing against the previous generation
Questioning them every day
Wondering why they call themselves
liberal or educated or whatever they call themselves
when they are so limited
and cannot do what you want them to do

Until you take a step back and realize
what great leaps they took in their time
to arrive at where they are
and that somewhere along they way they tired
and said, this far and no further

And that it is our job
to take the next step

And perhaps we are becoming the same
staying true to the ideals of your generation
while not taking the step further
into the seemingly wild and frivolous
and totally unnecessary ideas of the next generation

to each generation their own liberation
may we learn not to judge
