To Y.P.L Poem by DM W

O you're young. You should be energised; excited!
But now you are only going through the motions.
I suppose times have changed. But it has come to a head
When those like you are misled by obscure notions,
Rather than be enlightened by gold - tinged beauty,
That flow through the world's veins; endlessly inviting.
You don't seem to perceive the forest for the trees,
So to speak. You are incredibly frustrating!
You would rather pick at the bones of the carcass,
Than reach for the moon and stars amidst this darkness.
