Most Modern Youth

Most youngsters want to stand on their own legs;
They cannot accept what some adults say;
They wish to see the world through their own eyes;

their patterns of interaction
their comments reactions

a very strange world
differences between what adults said
and what child were told

their masks worn
and I thought about what
they did and why?

Questions were asked
about what you wanted
to be when you grew up?
