Bygone Ages

the new replaces the old
the old goes by the wayside
displaced by each new generation
current ones inherit the previous traditions
that will be modified over time

little by little
shifts occur in the societal aura
reaching forward with progress
changing what’s necessary
discarding what isn’t

every generation asks about its purpose
what is it all for – the eternal question
yet each day, those living
follow the footsteps of those long gone
the answer never comes
