Society's Weeping

Children shout to drown out society's weeping ---
What kind of future is there for our Youth? ---
Nuclear detonation is close at hand ---
Like a first time mother,
with her newborn infant ---
Don't try to analyze the purpose of 
this maze we call life ---
Finding the exit only means death ---
But is that sweet euphoria or
eternal damnation?

this one is the question for the ages. I have very high hopes that sweet euphoria will be there for the worthy. FOr the rest (including me) I am hoping for anything not involving suffering!!
