Youth

‘Youth’, can be deceiving, it can be demeaning.

Assumptions and accusations of “naivety” and “lack of knowledge”.

Expectations of “inexperience” and “insensitivity”. The expectation that for answers the ‘Youth’

should not forage.

The reality is far from this idealistic concept, conjured by those who feel threatened by the

thought of an emotionally educated ‘Youth’.

A ‘Youth’, emerging from the sugar coated upbringing that society has tried to enforce.

This ‘Youth’, with experience and knowledge, opinions and thoughts.

A ‘Youth’s’ views, attempts to suppress them. Plots and conspiracies to hide and conceal them.

This Voice, escaping from the restraints of a silent society.

A ‘Youth’s’ Voice speaks of hurt and abuse, emotional and physical.

Solitary Voices confide experiences previously shackled.

A Voice unleashed, untamed and untrained, consuming the “inexperienced”, “naive” ‘Youth’.
