1981

Us, we yearn forever hence,
Prostituted souls recognizing her piety,
Though only sold to proper appeal, 
Told to those with substance.

Us, we ravage apathy,
His iron bedded helplessness within,
Suppresses volumes of passion,
Oppressive tolerant atrocity.

Us, we enjoy agony,
Her wretched smirk engulfs,
A saddened tiresome reality,
****** of dramatic agelessness.

Us, we acknowledge Dream,
His snatched optimism from worn Was,
Bestowed upon eager Is,
With timed versatility.

Us, the youth 
Scream our definition
To Her undefined self,
The World.
