Babylon still calls the young,
while white whiskered fathers despair,
but freeing them pray for their return.
Languages of home mix in the distance,
delete a culture, remove its language.
It’s time to be linguistically challenged.

The nights reveal the other world.
White whiskered fathers remember the allure
their cynicism eschewed those complex values being tested,
while their children search
for that precise wonder
that Babylon promises.

  1. Jane, in a relatively short poem, you captured the generational conflict and conservative tradition—as well as the loss of roots and the unknown new horizons—so well.
