The Youth of Today

“Those conceived during
life’s ardent fornication,
are “Little Bastards!”
so are they that are not.”

Compelling statement, Harry. I have trouble relating to some of today's young people -- not all of them. However, it seems most teens feel they have an easy road ahead of them and will not have to work to succeed. They would have been considered "spoiled" when I was growing up, but parents seem to be allowing youngsters too much freedom while requiring them to assume very little if any responsiblity. A troubling scenario painted well in your epigram. Love, Carolyn
