A memory from adolescence prompted by the rediscovery of an old favorite musician.
Realization
We should have questioned more,
been braver,
more perceptive.
Our rebellions were small
and mostly selfish.
We could have been less gullible,
fought against
sugar-coated lies;
prejudices
that made us the lucky ones,
But at least,
in our choice of music,
we showed we had good instincts.

Den er super….dykker ned under, der hvor samvittighed prikker til os og vi erkender at vi er temmelig middelmådige… og dog tilgiver vi os selv til slut 🙂
So many ifs and buts in life, it is never too late to change, to make now in the presence what one might not have done previously due to so many reasons.
And maybe that Music changed the world a bit……
So much in this RILLA, that is familiar. But ‘could have’s’ are difficult to live with. I am glad you ended on a positive note.
