youthquake

Rumbles, grumbles all around
Shaking, moving to the sound
Of growing up in leaps and bounds
Old moral codes, now all unwound.

So rising up, the rules to break
A cataclysmic grand youthquake.
The old order's dictates they won't take.
The status quo o'er coals they rake.

And so it goes, year after year,
each generation to appear
finds the older insincere
and so search out their own frontier.

The more things change..the saying goes...
With time each generation knows
their stances youth then overthrows
until, in turn, they are deposed.
