NO CRIME
Don’t look askance
‘cause I’m not young
Some day you’ll
be there too
It is no crime to
linger on
It took some
Work to do
The waves at shore
unravel time
They pummel
seduce some more
I try to stave
each threatening push
And yet I face
this war
Please pause a moment
if you will
I want to reach
you still
Stay open to
your heart of love
Don’t close off
give the shove
Stinging silence
nonchalant speech
With every look
you breach
The open hearted
values held
Before your peers
propelled
‘You don’t belong
you withered leaf
How could you
think to teach
We who have it all
you know
For now the Youth
are Chief
