I talked to an old hippie girl on the metro bus
today
She was over 65 years old, living in senior housing
Eyes still sparkled, though she was
gray haired, wrinkled and fat.
"When I was young, I hated to hear
the old people complain about 'the
world today' - how bad everything
is, how good things were in the
past; how everything gets worse
and worse.
I promised that when
I got old, I would not complain
about 'the kids today' - how things
are worse than they used to be.
But that's a promise I can't keep.
The world has gone wrong. People
are worse than they were before.
We are about the destroy the earth.
Horrible things are happening now -
caused by human greed - that
I could have never dreamed of.
The world is on
the wrong path,"
she said.
