Before teenage, life was day to day <br />Routine school, homework, hours of play <br />Teenage: less play, more hours of study <br />Exams, games, reading, hours in the library <br />School fun, stresses at term examinations <br />Youth's chaotic curve, muddled in confusions <br /> <br />Youth weaning, hastening adulthood <br />Bold, idealizations, quick swinging moods <br />Quick to anger, laughter and tears <br />Constant pressure from cliquish peers <br />Youthful ambitious selfish pursuits <br />Questioning handed-down truths <br /> <br />Newborn adults in streets of real life trials <br />Life's wisdom, baked from youthful ideals <br />Biographies and teachers influenced <br />Fresh graduates, lacking experience <br />Unprepared, facing harsh world, poker-faced <br />Ready to conquer niches, society established <br /> <br />Dreams alive, surge forward, spirit strong <br />Braving new paths ere now done wrong <br />Passion-driven tapping limitless potential <br />Impatient elders slowing change as usual <br />Suffocating creativity, cursing youth's age <br />Talents treasure vaults, store cutting edge <br />Youth as such become leaders of tomorrow <br />Pioneering frontiers as never seen before <br />Never pass off youth, their future hold <br />Dreamers born of youth, never get old.<br /><br />Paul Sebastian<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/youth-today-leader-tomorrow/
