Youthquake Snowflakes

Youthquake seismic events rock history
Over caustic boundaries there drowned
Tsunami prone again
Confused by them and rain

Melt down society volcanic in their ashes
Fire delights the juvenile
Feelings fall in snowflake fashion
West coast cracks abound in civil rights

Facts be damned at landscapes end
Rules bend, go out the window rattled
When broken Earth shatters black
Youthquakes erupt into your home


Snowflake liberals on TV channeled thoughts
Shake up the ground with network static
Interference frantic over sizzled wires
In gray, not yet adjusted to the elements

Wet to the bone on Internets alarm  
Social media is bored to death by child's play
War is always on parade but lacking style
Warm to the touch, days hysteria comes forth

Thank you so much Lewis. Glad you enjoyed it. Youthquake is one of those new words in the Oxford dictionary that is getting a lot of play these days so I thought I would play with it. Have a great day and a very Merry Christmas. Earl
