Back to the Future

If I could turn back time

I would not have to

Because where I live time is always new

If I wanted to

I could go back to 1982

Park at the hospital

Wait for two newborn babies to come out

Cause it might now be now

But through my eyes

When I see things

It’s not a surprise

I’ve been here before

And seen the show

Which lets me know

Whether now or then

When I see it, it’s again

I can go back to the year 2000

In a cap and gown

That spot is not even across town

Just minutes away

By foot

It’s not there I want to stay

I’m here today

Right here

No need to stray

When I want though

To 2010 I can go

Teleport

To the DIA airport

Just landed on my flight back home

And just came from home too

Back to the work I do

Brought what I took back with me

Just so I could relearn to see

So when it became 2015

I was ready for what awaited me

A lesson that still lives painfully

I guess I’m not trustworthy

And so is everybody

The world we live in is very ugly

And it does not value people like me

So I’ll just live on quietly

Doing my thing

Don’t care about wedding or championship rings

Portfolios or CV’s

I just care how someone treats me

And all fail to be

A person who can pass my test

Because it is always about the past

Or the things they are

None of which I care for

And just one person is always a bore

Besides never heard anyone say no to more

And here’s the score

We all lost

Cause all we care about are the costs

And who’s the boss
