Inter Generational<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We dwell
\nIn an age
\nOf expediency
\nRapt in sentries owed
\nWisdom
\nDead
\nEver sow
\nSlight
\nAnd out right
\nA fence
\nKeeping
\nAt arms
\nLength
\nOf a man’s daze
\nUnable to abide
\nBeyond won’s own life
\nHour generation
\nOf that narrow marrow
\nOf what kin do
\nAnd due we get
\nMeans
\nAnd ends
\nThat madders
\nAnd love lies
\nWearing on us
\nTroubled soles
\nSow trying
\nTo walk the walk
\nA loan
\nForging ahead
\nUntil carried out
\nA torch
\nPassing on<\/p>\n
