Week #44 Groan Up

 We push kids to grow up
They just can’t grow fast enough
The young need to look old
The tender need to look tough
 
Innocence needs to be schooled
Incapable ones need re-tooled
Heaven forbid if naivety
Ever got fooled
 
Paint the plain, mask the pain
Everyone buys a ticket
For the very same train
 
We spend the first part of our lives
Seeking to be old
The rest of our lives
We search for youth’s fountain of gold

    I started Monday Morning Poetry Group in April 2017 to share new poems I have written since I published my book of Poetry.
