Retro Recollection

when did it happen?
that we cease to look ahead
culture regresses
and we look backward instead
styles of clothes
straight outta the '50's
conservative fashion
looks awfully shitty
I guess it reflects
the current scheme
no futuristic vision
just a recurring dream
polyester
and corduroy
prior standards
come back, oh boy!!!
what's the logic?
why the regression?
they don't want to study
to learn history's lesson
the mirror is clearer
when glancing at reflection,
sidestep the why
avoid misdirection
cuz that direction
is heading towards previous
mottos and mantras
that really are devious
I find it ironic
that as we regress
technology continues
despite how we compress
distant ideas
grow even more distant
our tools are more modern
but our minds? more resistant
we stopped marching forward
and now we're backsteppin'
if place and time is a battlefield
we've just lost our weapon
History repeats itself
you see, history repeats itself
it seems to me, to repeat itself
REPEATS ITSELF, REPEATS ITSELF, REPEATS ITSELF
*CD SKIP, RECORD SCRATCH*
