youth
what if the world is ruled by the youth, their dreams bright, unsullied,
not yet jaded and dulled by disappointment and betrayal?
what if the youth, with their big dreams of hope, of peace, of love,

yet pay scant attention
to what we teach our young
looking at the state we are in today
perhaps it is better that a child leads us
not yet jaded and dulled by disappointment and betrayal?
