a rant on overextended adolescence

Overextended adolescence has taken us by the throat. The child becomes the grown up- yet the bar remains all too low. Generations before laid the floor too far down. Their ceiling is the first steps of these to come. But they too often don't invest and only suppress. Creativity tried to thrive-but maybe good intentions, maybe indecision, only cause the imagination to die. We don't give them room to breathe, all we do is chalk up their inefficiency, shoving it in their face."Be a child-live your life, at at 35 I'm sure you'll realize, now maturity will arrive." Instead we watch them go from edge to cliff no finger is lifted to help. They all have troubles at this age- but we don't try to help them learn the lesson from our book, our name on the page. 'Cause the dark pit is swallowing lives.You see David lead an army and ruled a nation, "but these youth- they're full of vain imaginations." Mary carried a King when they don't have the ability to even carry their own dreams. Anne wrote the diary of an era-but they die before they realize they have no need to wait to see their story start. Rachel started a reaction of hope-but we have lost all of ours in this out of control nameless mass. Lets allow the children to grow up and be who they are-reach out and guide them- help them cling to a Greater Cause. For its up to us to see this through- where the next generation goes- relies on the trail you've left to follow.
