Arm the Youth with Audacity

Executed with
Mild arrogance
And wanton disregard
As a kid with misplaced courage
Churning out
Treading unknown territory with
Rather dangerous results
Enviable
What’s dancing in his head
Flowing, melted mess
Rushed to a boil
Forcing a happenstance
An excess of salt
The youth
Told a little truth
To run away with
To break on through
The cliches of faux encouragement
From those who have none at stake
Or exhausted full
We’ve been waiting for you
