                 Welcome to the struggle;
                  to the truth;
                  patterned, not so puzzled,
                  but the youth;
                  searching for some hassle
                  or some sooth;
                  pressured, not so muzzled
                  but self-loathed;
                  scrounging what was hidden;
                  by the holes,
                  darkened and forgotten;
                  by the souls,
                  burning their own garden;
                  from the poles,
                  weakened by the burdens;
                  for their roles;
                  together, they're leaving
                  for the worse;
                  forever they're bearing;
                  like the horse,
                  leading, never fearing;
                  on the course,
                  lonely, yet they're wearing
                  promised lores;
                  brightened by their mothers
                  through the war;
                  smiling yet so sober;
                  to the stars;
                  starry, soulful dreamers,
                  yet so far;
                  risky culture breakers;
                  kissing scars.
