Youth Denied
Of social malaise are these born
children tethered in the darkness
where not the grass of summer sways
and joyful laughter echoes never more
Youth robbed away in half stride
while yet its freckled face did shine
stolen and for what
the answer locked in perpetuity
Forsook, the human blossom
shamefully dead upon the vine
life’s ambition scorned, curtailed
in darkness sleep forevermore
who quells ambition ere it blooms
and etch upon grave markers, bold
they disinvested youth

my how these unwanted were brought into this world and left to fend for themselves, reaching and yearning to be loved
"Forsook, the human blossom
shamefully dead upon the vine"
they wander and are treated as fruit not yet picked not even ripe, just fallen to the ground to rot.
I appreciate that you have chosen to stay and share
thank you William Lamebull
