Youth Revolt At the Renegade Square

We are eager and much willing To find progress in forgiving! Long as we the future living Reap the fruit of our own digging!  Stop the bloodshed and the killing Heed the call and hear the feelings Do not ignore or practice grinning We are relentless in our bidding Rugged, aimless not quite sinners Think of us assumed caregivers You will serve, worship, deliver A stern warning for those who quiver Through the bitter night that's turning Underlies the rage that won't stop burning Are the questions of their forming Huge mistrust and reckless learning Their wretched thoughts within them roaring Thickening soup of malice churning Now light and darkness in them blurring Starts the signal of societies falling 'Bless the young mind!' said the screams Touch their skirts and gird their seams Feel the hems within their jeans As they bring forth these lofty ideals Is it wisdom or foolish extremes They resort to usher in peace Rip through curtains, burning machines Find a vaccine, sweep the streets There seems certainty in the air Fog of heat and dense dispair Of the future that lies bare For all the citizens of this square Still the rantings would play on Such as a never ending song Hope is future, lust is lost Youth is freedom, wisdom be gone
