Footsteps to Follow

Kelli Carter


What happened to all the Lone Rangers,
the heroes on white stallions,
the knights in white armor,
who fought for our honor?

Where have all the good guys gone?
Whose footsteps are we to follow now?
Whose shoes are we to fill?

Mine is the voice of this generation---
the voice of a thousand.
Do you hear our unanswered questions?
Or are you so deaf that you cannot hear?

So what happened to you, Lone Ranger?
Each time you don’t answer, a little
part of us dies.
