Don’t forsake the power of Baby Boomers.
Many of us are Late Bloomers.
A few of us marched and demonstrated
for Civil Rights, and anti-war.
Post-war babies, we may be
the fiercest fighters for Democracy.
And yet, too many of us are immature
in understanding the force
needed to correct a nation’s course.
This is not the time to play and pretend,
a babes are wont to do,
that Democray can never end.
No, being a baby will not do.
We need to bellow and we need to boom.
Our strength is waning it is true.
We can no longer do what we could before.
The strength in arms and legs wanes.
The strength in minds and hearts remains.
And, our voices raised together are strong
enough sing freedom’s song.
Baby Boomers, sing out loud, sing out strong.
Our fathers soldiered on across the seas.
We must soldier on at home to defend Democracy.
