¶ The Young Shall Grow.




Secretion shunned secrets of the seething set,

As shackled nipples tackled supple sucklings.



Morning crowed in, mourning crawling;

Billion cradled heads couldn't sleep to night.

Till night, evening heaved noon into static light:

The sun would not set for these sorry sights.



For ageings were the teachers - tea-chers:

Cooks of diseased tea, served in cunning cup.

So they were effectively affective in youth's

Madarsahs, as they made them raw-sore.



What will the tenders eat?

Heat? They wouldn't be "flabberWHELMED" with it.

So, here's a plea for you; tabled before you,

For the eagles be begged so the chicks could coo.



Ageings, wouldn't you let the youths sleep to night,

So they could be grown where your end is sown?





*Madrasah: An Arabic school.

Flabberwhelmed: Flabbergasted and overwhelmed.

Note
For me, this poem gives a near-perfect definition of what is poeTHICK.
