The veil of youth obscures the truth,
in minds susceptible to lies.
For they are newly exposed to
reality's underbelly.
A duck-blind for opportunists;
the veil of youth obscures the truth.
And fledgling dreamers fall in line;
wanting every lie to be true.
The foolish and naive get groomed
as enthusiastic hopefuls.
The veil of youth obscures the truth;
yet the hands of time will lift it.
Mature minds recognize deceit
when their wishes fail to come true.
And a wizened heart understands;
the veil of youth obscures the truth.
