Love Poem: Young American Man

Young American Man

Withering away your days
Waiting on some undefined occurrence
To move you on to participating
In a life of abounding meaning
     Change your ways, live life today!
Living life drunk and stoned
Surviving as a numbed-up drone
Muddled memories of momentary joy
Awash in an endless frittering of time 
     Change your ways, live life today!
Faith constrained to personal intellect
Hope buried in the ashes of popular culture
Love boxed up from a narcissistic education
Deceived by the Father Of Lies
     Change your way, get a life today!
     Change your way, get life everlasting!
