The End of the World

Are we the generation that's witnessing
The end of the world
The end of democracy
The end of voting rights
The end of "all men are created equal"
The end of truth
The end of rational discourse
   in American politics
The end of the typewriter
The end of the telephone book
The end of the phone booth
The end of Brooks Brothers 
The end of Kinney Shoes and Borders Books
The end of Sports Authority, RadioShack, and Toys R US
The end of shopping malls
The end of audio cassette players
The end of VHS tapes
The end of five-and-dime stores
The end of the lunch counter
The end of racial and religious bigotry
The end of lawn jockeys
The end of FOR WHITES ONLY
The end of Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima
The end of sexism and misogyny
The end of "boys will be boys"
The end of homophobia and transphobia
The end of xenophobia
The end of everything that's backward, 
                     outdated, or obsolescent?
