youth

[Nematoda]

To be young and free.

Is a joy that all must regret to have felt.

It is a being, hated and loved.

Lost, as a treasure never to be found.

It is a form of commodity that only serves to discourage.

It is blind wondering in a vast world.

 

To be young and free.

Is a second of one’s life time.

To be looked at with envy and greed.

Protected by its murderers weapon.

It is a victim that never existed.

A crime that is just by any law.

A taboo that must never be enjoyed.

[General Duke]

To be young is easy

life is nice

not once but twice

feelings are strong

the way is clear

you have everything

thats close and dear

[5]

To be young it means

to listen to others endlessly

to walk around

to hop on and hop off

to hitchhike

maybe even grab a bike

planes and trains and stations

winks and smiles and stares

in the path of life

you'll have some loose change

the love of your parents

 

but when the night falls

and the distant stars dimly shine

with no one else around

'cept the grasshoppers

you'll feel alone, you'll feel the cold

it's as if the warmth of life

had disappeared

and something else... replaced it

you'll make a hut out of grass

you'll always have that loose change

the wisdom of your parents

[General Duke]

Young heartless & going for gold

arogant roaming the world

alone never as I see the glitter

they can speak but does it matter

 

young never settled

it's platinum and not mere mettle

 

This vers is for the youth

but hey that long ago and I am old
