youth

Youth is dumb

Youth is reckless

Youth is wrong


Itโ€™s not a matter of opinion

But a matter of dominion


Every fold in a face

Is wisdom that cannot be erased

So to those smooth-skinned children

We say listen


Listen to the racists

Listen to the haters

Listen to the dictators


Just.

Listen.


Every time your mouth widens

Reel it in like the tide

And keep those gates from flooding

And keep it all in stride


No one cares

What youth has to say

Because youth doesnโ€™t know

The price its words have to pay


Did youth ever ask

Why the wise man

Is always an old man

And not a young man


Did youth look at the news

And see the trouble it causes

How its reckless actions lead to piles

And piles and piles of rubble


Did youth look

At the rates of mortality and rape

Grandpaโ€™s not the one raiding the streets

Looking for victims to turn into cheats


Youth thinks it knows

Better than the true and tried


Youth takes tradition

And turns to abolition


Youth should be locked up

In a cage with no key

Maybe then youth will learn

To shut its mouth and think of something other than โ€œmeโ€


Youth deserves to be beat

Into a being of submission

Maybe then youth will understand

The consequences of opposition


Youth should not get to make decisions

It lacks the right amount of precision


No one should listen to youth

In fact only an idiot would


Youth is dumb

Youth is reckless

Youth is young.


Youth is wrong.

mariedavismd312: This was Avery spiritual read. The last 2 chapters where very disappointing. That was such a let down unless there is a sequel. Burgess should have been punished for what he did. There was no explanation for his hatred for Jeremiah. I figured he was being set but just had the wrong person. I loved ...
