"To My Dear Ones..."
  by snugasaglove *The Rebirth*
  - This Poem is a response to the poem "No Crystal Stair" by snugasaglove




Dear Ones:

I sincerely beseech you and boldly issue a dare and a challenge
Because YOU are the wave of the future
Upon which all our hopes rest and hinge

So please, pick up and read a book besides Eric Jerome Dickey or Zane
Aspire to fatten a savings account instead of "Making It Rain"
Introduce yourselves to other letters, besides the one between "E" and "G"
Fill your days and nights with more than "F" x 3:
Fucking, Fighting and Getting Fucked Up
Why just nibble and snack on Life's joys
When you can be truly sated as you fully sup
Because my prayer for you is NOT to be a "Generation Lost"
For every dawn that breaks, YOUR choice-filled coin is daily tossed
Either Tails, you lose
Or
Heads, you win
But the beauty of it is, you've still got another chance to try it again....

So, please, Dear Ones,
With yourselves, sign a life-long, unbreakable contract
Starting today,
Set your own terms and conditions for your personal-acheivement pact...

"but the beauty of it is, you still get another chance to try again" wonderfully inspiring a lot of times we seem to forget that tomorrow brings new chances and we just get caught in vicious cycles of self destruction...love the words of wisdom in this piece

Nothin but, Wisdom and Truth spread across all these lines...Teach them and they will know...Finding a better tomorow, the the generation before.
