Not for the old
With schedules tightening around their necks;
bus drivers with a welded foot are losing races.
There's no time and no place for the old.
They're herded by masters that lack compassion;
a word that has no place in this public ant farm.

"They're herded by masters that lack compassion"
indeed they are and it is sooo wrong
I having worked in nursing homes and retirement communities have seen first hand the lack of compassion.
It is a crazy ant farm we live in and the poor old folk do not receive the respect they deserve.

Yeah I was sat at the back of a bus and the bus driver hardly give the oldies time to get two feet off the bus before the door slamming shut and then driving off.
Shame really.
Shame really.

Great observation. Sometimes people don't wish to slow down for anyone, when really they should, out of obvious safety and respect.
I see it here all the time, though it's not just the oldies on buses that suffer, it's the mums with little ones too that seem to get a dose of panic from impatient bus drivers with a lead foot.
Nice write :)

There is of course the flip side to this, as with almost everything.
The world seems to of just become too tight I think.
Thank you for your thoughts Indie!
