OF THE YOUNG
Poem by David N. Donihue
The hippies later became selfish and isolated
The punks lost their look and style and
without the branding, they just appeared bitter
The Christian kids who were once judgmental
slowly morphed to softened adults
The young converts did the opposite
Shielding themselves from regret
with accusatory eyes
The jocks stayed jocks with subtle morphing
The joyous and boyish gave birth to the same.
The insecure and arrogant split
into a million sub-chapters
From those striving for happiness
to those simply avoiding misery
The pretty girls changed on the outside
Many remained the same within
But some mistakenly let the outer trash the inner
And the boys just pretended they couldn’t relate
The rock bands slowly but surely turned on each other
Revealing they were jocks all along
Genuineness was once to admit misery
And later the focus on the opposite
Would be the only thing that keeps us genuine

OF THE OLD
By David N. Donihue
The stern ones we would later appreciate
The soft we would later see as lazy or weak
The angry we would later see as insecure and pathetic
The loving we would later realize the power of their actions
The smart often revealed themselves to be soulless
And the soulless would later reveal how strong we could be in their wake
The rich we only envied after we realized their different sense of freedom
The poor we stopped judging once we lived as them
The religious tore us down
The spiritual helped us separate faith from its fallen propagators
And as we looked up to the old who refused to envy our youth
We feared the old who despised us for our youth
As we knew that they had given up on the future
And our optimism was like a mirror of their chosen defeat
In some cases the old got wiser
In other cases, wisdom had been reinvented by the young
And the lazy become filled with empty formulaic advice
Yet the loving never stopped listening
And those of the old, feel younger than the young
