Analysis of The Oldest of the young
Aaron S Dietz 1985 (a city)
no sheading tears in the darkness would be seen
no cry alone in the forest would be heard
no bragging to anyone would be told
no showing off would be done
no young that would be
no words would say
no die yesterday
no live today
bye bye
