People worry about "troubled youth." Okay, fine.
They should save their alarm for the troubled
aged. Who travel in gangs demanding help
with digital technology. Who form squads
of know-it-alls wearing funny hats. Who
tell you when their nation was great
but never specify how. And they protest--
clogging cities worldwide, carrying signs
like "Kill Time," "We Still Like Sex" (the horror),
and "What Do We Want?--We Can't Remember!"
It's real, it's dangerous, and it's coming
to your town. I say the aged should
love it or leave it, cut their remaining hair,
get a job (again), work within the system,
and turn down their goddamned music.
Let's make this country young again.
