Challenge
Is youth wasted on the young?
100 words or less
There is no youth
The young cannot feel youth
We stuff their mouths
With bitter grapes
So why do we fume
When their mouths
Overflow with wine
Their minds were
Beautifully ignorant
Empty of our world’s
Stifling desires and views
So we fill them with
So much nothing
Until they overflow
We remove their insides
There are gears where
Their hearts should be
And they turn on
And on, and on, and on
To the same clinking
They will convince you
This is your heartbeat
But the children remember
When the song was their own
