The Post Modern Youth

The Youth of today is an ever burning volcano
Ready to chant tunes so enchanting in soprano
Humming the deep wellsprings of their vibrant clan,
With perplexity yet well thought out detailed plan.

The modern aspirations in Internet vocabulary
Projects (s)he, with resolute matchless tapestry
Little of true self reveals (s)he, in life's mockery
But exposes skills when needed with no jugglery.

Moves (s)he around with new dreams so fantastic
Spirit enlivening creative imagination so bombastic
Which the elders perceive as crazy minds so elastic
A notion resisted vehemently by this tribe as sarcastic.

Can the elders look up to this reality
with true morality coupled with a sense of equality?
