Been away for a REALLY long time...looking forward to catching up on the reading and with new and old members  Here's my latest... Justification We are admittedly the youth of the universe Why so many questions Do we have something to prove ..to you? How many times have we Heard this all before? How can we be in love How can we be mature How can our thoughts our creations, our words have any depth we're too young to comprehend too ignorant to understand too irrational, too emotional to be legitimate too inexperienced to be as enlightened as...you? Do you have it all figured out? Are you the standard that we must live up to? Here's the million dollar question: How will we ever be much of anything With you looking over our shoulders? If we said we love because we never could have learned in a thousand lifetimes what they have taught us... if we told you that maturity is relative to the advancement of your values and not the number of years you've walked the earth... if we claimed that our thoughts were as priceless as any genius you could produce... would you then understand? would you get it, would you be satisfied? ...would you laugh? Why so many questions? Will we ever be able to... should we even feel the need to justify ourselves so that we may be considered equal... to you? We are proudly the youth of the universe- "We have no more to prove than you do ...just more time to prove it." ***writer's note: As much as it pains me to admit it, I cannot take credit for the last two lines of this poem, which also happen to be the 2 BEST lines...all credit for the amazing wisdom in the poems's closing goes to Zac (I am so jealous...)*** ~*Won't you come and hold my hand? This world has taken me as far as it can... without your smile.~* ~*If I never said I'm sorry, then I'm wrong, [This message has been edited by Kandi (edited 03-12-2001).] |

Nicely done here. I really liked this read. I thought it was pretty great.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

Very well written indeed! Some of the older generation might take offense, but I thinks thats exactly what this poem is saying...why should they? Can it be so that you’ve been so ignorant or am I just another soul, in loves mad torrent? |

Yes! It's about time someone poeticized this age-old problem about the not-so-age-old individuals in society. Power to the youth!   ~Allan If I had your eyes, I'd be blind. For I can only see out of my own. ~~Carly Van Dort |
