Voice of youth ~~~*~~~ The voice of youth Beckons in the wilderness Like the call of the wild Releasing the pain of struggle Searching for answers Society embraces only For their own. Society’s youth prowls The mean streets Of urban reality Seeking answers not found In the text Of knowledge. By William Bonilla 02 / 28 /2013

It is unfortunate that peer pressure
is strong among youth to fit in... but often
so much is seen through the parent too and not always
a good example sadly...

Love and Light

'youth is wasted on the young'

I sense a derogatory view of texting. Ever since Socrates decried the downfall of youth it has been quite normal for the elderly to think so. Somehow, youth redeems itself naturally and becomes wiser and more stiff minded with age.

The more you think you know it all, whether from books or the street is when you find out you know nothing. Good write.

You got that right, my friend. You need both street knowledge and book learning. It seems when we are young, at a certain age, we know all the answers, but in reality we are just twisting in the wind.

Everybodies got to learn, wish we could learn from our elders, but that just doesn't work...too bad as it would be much easier...e

It's better to have those street smarts along with book smarts and know how to apply each. Good one, William. I really enjoyed this.

Love ya!
