Young Man


Young man...
The American decadent,
Never fading, always changing.
Succeeding at something...
And on the other hand,
Destroying potential...
Times are tough I know,
We need your bestissism.

Young Man...
Equipped with knowledge
with or without charisma...
Who gives a shit...
You educated yourself...

A sea of change,
With stars in your eyes...
Emancipate oneself...
Release the stone...

Decay and Beauty,
lie within, Earth's blood...
Stand with the planet,
Think outside yourself...
Trust your discernment,
But not always the heart...
Open the mind,

Evolve...

In your thinking,
Create the art...
Shouldn't preach...
But teach the faculties,
Missing, in Narcissism...

Be One,
with the Universe...
Pierce the sky...
And be well,
Young Man...
