    Kids Today
    I was a rebel
    And guess I still am
    But, I rebelled injustice
    For what I believe in

    Kids today
    They start their own fights
    And think they are tuff
    With a gun or a knife
    With no Godly respect
    For liberties and life...

    I know it's not all
    And probably not most
    And certainly not those kids
    Of whom you boast

    Just wondering where,
    Our nation will be
    Without the Father,The Son
    And the Holy Ghost

    Yes, and we all rebelled as teens but perhaps the reason why you feel the kids start their own fights is because the world has become smaller and we can see more. Obviously, what these kids need is better role models and I really wish some kids would be lucky enought to come upon such as you. You bring to my mind the state of this world and it scares the bazookas out of me. Especially, when you and I can view the chaos and heartache all around us; namely one of the catalysts: the recession created by the greed in the bellies of people we sometimes elected. I wonder where it is all gonna end; I wonder when the good will wake up and say 'basta' 'basta' basta! Translated basta means enough is enough......... But you know its young people like you that are our saving grace; so I am not too scared; for such as you restore my faith in humanity and the future itself.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
