Sex and a serious obssession with the 'self', <br />Has mobilized today's youth to view standards... <br />With aging values degraded as pointless. <br />Unless they are collectively being solicited, <br />To abstain from the affects of truth. <br />And absorbing any remnants of it... <br />Would be like seeking a precious jewel, <br />Blind folded on a treasure hunt. <br />With the rules delivered by a sign language... <br />No one knows or can see to validate. <br />But then again... <br />Some of our brightest, <br />Are up to all challenges presented.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
