Yesterday's Youth

You strong and untammed youth of yesterday, tramping under your feet the fears of yester-years, why now did you think twice? Those days when your blood were hot like lava, and pure burning bristle flashes forth from your eyes, what is it that has corb you? Mightly youth of yesterday, you who set coals ablaze with just the breathe of ur nostrils, when you give forth your roar,with voice echoing like the thunder of angry gods, oh who dared to stand? But why now are you calm? When your blood ranges within your vains, tempesting and thossing like a troubled sea, who was there to contain you? None. Why now oh youth once filled with valour,fame and strength did you tremble before give birth mare words and leaning on a mare staff before to you as straw, for balance and support? Oh youth of yesterday, your mortal nature escape you, but age is back frm exile ,blessing you with every vile mistery and each bile feeling you escaped at youth. Dear youth, still fresh like tender dew, don't be drunk with the wine of youth, someday old age will return from exile.
