Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade Great Day, Fam. This one right here? It’s not for everyone. If you’re not at or approaching Eldership—defined in our tribe as about 55 years old and up—you might not feel all of this. But if you’re curious, or if you’re one of those younger souls already walking with wisdom, you’re welcome to keep reading. This message is for the Elders. For those of us who should know better. And yes—I’m including myself. Let’s Start With the Mirror I’ve got to confess something. I’ve been guilty. Guilty of being reactionary. Guilty of falling into the trap of conservatism. Guilty of romanticizing the past.

all breeding new lunatics.
Same melody new lyrics

and us as the solution.
The union of church and state
is governmental pollution.
I found myself as my savior
and found my family as church
I find my friends congregating
around a basket of perch.
I raise my kids from my morals
and raise my glass to my bliss.
I raise my shades to the sunrise
and raise my voice when I'm pissed.
I'll raise a question for thinkers
the politicians I say to:
for those of them that think they're GOD
who do you pray to?
