What shall we do with this young man--at ten
Much more a man than men twice, thrice his age--
Who plays a manly rock-n-roll--his pen
Has written lyrics showing manly rage
Against the dying of the light--no less
Opposes womanly pop music--he
Will build, create with focus, fearlessness,
Declares all rulers "suck"--anarchic, free.
But where shall he emerge into the man
That is his destiny? This culture will
Declare him toxic. Focused on his plan,
Perhaps he will ignore and then fulfill.
This boy who loves his father was born for
A balance made in music, not for war.
