POETRY - PHILOSOPHY


Teens

Young, hollow and numb, instinctively searching for a cause,
The age of tactless impressionism, noise, excitement and the norm.
Even in adversity, the familiar is reassuring and warm, easy to assess,
Rudderless exuberance, without experience or knowledge,
Moving in misty, ever decreasing circles, no bearings or charts.
A Catch 22 conundrum of headless passion, dictating the pace of change,
Or lack of it, depending on our actions or reactions to conflict and pressure.
