 Sad But True


Girls and boys using modern toys
Each designed for maximum noise
Deftly the decibel power destroys
Any semblance of things auditory....

 


Girls and boys indulge in 'modern' sex
A subject we all know to be complex
They become classic Oedipus wrecks
Nothing in their actions is laudatory....

 


Boys and girls driving killing machines
Power boosted by expensive piston rings
Paid by mom and dad by whatever means
No trace of work ethic, no personal glory....

 


Boys and girls producing boys and girls
Young innocent tots with smiles and curls
But as their little lives slowly unfurl
It is generally a sad and tragic story....

 


Girls and boys turn into women and men
Who all wish they could be children again
Maybe do things right toward a better end
Too bad this poem isn't just an allegory....
