Advice (From the Shadow of a Man)

When I see the young ones...
Drinking all their dreams away
Careless in everything
Never thinking past today.

Sometimes I plead
Hoping one will listen.

They always say, "Don't worry,
We're smart, We'll find a way."
Off they go, snickering,
Ignoring every word I say.

Each time my eyes
Flood with tears of grief.

Years from now
They won't be men
But mere shadows of who
They could have been.
