Sonnet 041



Sonnet 041
Laijon Liu 20160326

Youth betrays everyone of us
Those pretty wrongs that liberty commits
Beauty of our years, full of promise and energy
We believe our dreams and we pursue
Brave we are, therefore to be fooled
Beauteous are we, so to be marketed
When the world woos, most of us will accept
Is it wrong to crown our youth with fancy and glory?
Ah, everyone must pass through young adult years
Why blame our natural beauty and straying youth?
I treasure and praise my youth
That time I was fun and for real
Stupidity I have done then
Now think of it, savory sweet.
