Youthful ignorance wishes
that life meant something
external
But nothing means anything
to anyone until one gets
involved
Meaning follows experience
inexperience has no place
demanding
Maturity destroys innocence
self-indulgent egocentrism
encourages
Failure to find deeper meaning
is failure to build the bridges
connecting
How convenient to blame life
for meeting the low expectations
we've sown
