message for today’s youth

build up of angst in today’s youth
the cause perhaps a suppressed fear
a lifestyle deemed by soul uncouth
dampening vibe of their heart’s cheer

the cure lies in life’s simple things
no striving for one-upmanship
growing in love, spreading soul’s wings
light within worthy of worship 

we are God’s love, we are His light
let us gentle thought, word and deed
slow down and discern wrong from right
soft voice of conscience always heed

life is a dream; recognise this ~
our true Self is love, light and bliss

I feel today's youth are different - more tolerant... I hope they live in peace.. unlike some of the imperialistic power hungry leaders in this world..

Too many cases of youth needing psychiatric treatment … they seem lost, tense, anxious, much more than we were at that point in life.
