Examination Of Youth (Blitz Poem)
Earn a life
Earn your raise
Raise a child
Raise your hand
Hand of hope
Hand of fate
Fate is cruel
Fate is no fool
Fool yourself
Fool the crowd
Crowd is haughty
Crowd is proud
Proud to sweat squalidly
Proud to stand here in the sun
Sun slips down
Sun keeps nightly secrets
Secrets of the present
Secrets that keep generating
Generating emotion
Generating substance for void
Void of truth
Void of air
Air is precious
Air is sweet
Sweet dreams
Sweet nectar
Nectar of the gods
Nectar of men
Men in white suits
Men with clipboards
Clipboards keeping track
Clipboards saving thoughts
Thoughts of suicide
Thoughts of the future
Future looks bright
Future looks blinding
Blinding furnace light
Blinding lightning strike
Strike while you can
Strike with youth's bliss
Bliss is not ignorance
Bliss is a view
View looks so unsightly
View commands my gaze
Gaze into the distance
Gaze into your memory
Distance
Memory
Earn your raise
Raise a child
Raise your hand
Hand of hope
Hand of fate
Fate is cruel
Fate is no fool
Fool yourself
Fool the crowd
Crowd is haughty
Crowd is proud
Proud to sweat squalidly
Proud to stand here in the sun
Sun slips down
Sun keeps nightly secrets
Secrets of the present
Secrets that keep generating
Generating emotion
Generating substance for void
Void of truth
Void of air
Air is precious
Air is sweet
Sweet dreams
Sweet nectar
Nectar of the gods
Nectar of men
Men in white suits
Men with clipboards
Clipboards keeping track
Clipboards saving thoughts
Thoughts of suicide
Thoughts of the future
Future looks bright
Future looks blinding
Blinding furnace light
Blinding lightning strike
Strike while you can
Strike with youth's bliss
Bliss is not ignorance
Bliss is a view
View looks so unsightly
View commands my gaze
Gaze into the distance
Gaze into your memory
Distance
Memory
