Up To All Challenges Presented Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Sex and a serious obssession with the 'self',
Has mobilized today's youth to view standards...
With aging values degraded as pointless.
Unless they are collectively being solicited,
To abstain from the affects of truth.
And absorbing any remnants of it...
Would be like seeking a precious jewel,
Blind folded on a treasure hunt.
With the rules delivered by a sign language...
No one knows or can see to validate.
But then again...
Some of our brightest,
Are up to all challenges presented.
