Teenagers Poem by John A'Hern

Teenagers, misunderstood, that is the message,
Look me in the eye tell me your thoughts?
No looking down, no looking away,
What is your question? What is your need?
Somewhere to go, somewhere indeed.
Always picked on, these are your thoughts,
No long-winded stories, we need to get along.
Not understood, the statement made
You belong with us and all the human race.
Is it an illness? Is it made up?
Do not look down, do not look away.
Do you obey? What is that you say?
Orders given left and right,
Too much information you need to take flight.
Head up look around
Stop this looking down upon the ground.
The World and it lessons are here for the asking,
Ask your questions, do not make up an answer.
In years to come as time rolls by,
You wish for your time again
Questions and answers, same old, same old.
