There's an England I remember
That I seem to see somewhere
As my May becomes September
I dream that I am there
The old England that made me
Is forever in my heart;
This new England has betrayed me
Of it I want no part!

UOC - talking of languages (so to speak 😉), interesting that Latin remains so relevant. Not everything has to change to make
sense of our lives and expectations.

That's the River of Life phenomenon, MC.
Life is like a language (which makes us human): if it does not change, it dies.
Or as Heraclitus said: "No man ever steps in the same river twice".
Thanks for the comment, GS. But the situation is not confined
to just "the younger generation" and their existence. It is what
the country has become. Change happens but not necessarily
matching the word "better".
MCN it is all part of the younger generation's raison d'être to appear to be cleverer than us old 'uns.
An old employer of mine (a very long time ago) once said to me,
'it's better to keep quiet and let people think you are stupid, than to open your mouth and prove them right'.
England has to change as it always has, we just won't be around to tidy it up!

Thanks MC.
Re Latin: we’re told that it’s a “dead language”, but is it?
It has survived by mutating over the years into Italian, and therefore, it is now as dead as Schrödinger's Norwegian Blue Parrot; it’s both dead and not dead!😏
