YOUTHFUL FOLLY
When young we get together in a crowd,
we rebel and become so rowdy and loud,
the numbers give us confidence to demand,
things we'd never do when alone on the land.
Passion overflows and becomes destruction,
woven into the fibre of our life's construction,
these marks like shadows follow us around,
forever there until made right and sound.
Destruction is never swept away,
it directs our future the very next day,
doors slam in our faces for jobs and perks,
because we destroyed and acted like jerks.
