Poem
Why would you shuffle off this mortal coil When in this life there is so much to live for? Like Yorrick ,when barely a huff of breath is left. Surely when Hamlet said "To Be or Not to Be" he was talking about life and death. To be or not to be living or dying ,present or absent. The wild energy of the teens if displaced can cause major clefts in collective consciousness. And what of lyrics within some songs? Does any one read them? What do the lyrics say? With youth's cocky confidence and intense self conscience they have the will to move mountains. Parents would be wise to instill love instead of hate in their children while their soft skulls are still developing. So their brains can mature into adults instead of forever being Peter Pans. Do all human beings go through the rebellious teenage years and how do different cultures deal with it? How difficult it must be for both parents and teens with the newfound growing hormones. Yes, the motto should be..."May there be good thoughts towards all fellow humans and all should promise never to do living beings any harm." I know it sounds a bit Buddhist,but wouldn't it be good if our kids were taught Not To cause any suffering?
