WILD OATS

"Ah, let them alone" tits the age.old cry
"BOys will ever be boys. you know
They must pow the world to the rim of youth,
Their field of wild oats they must SOW.
Let them alone-they are immune
To leash of straightaced moral code.
BOYS WILL BE BOYS; they measure life
By laws that license has bestowed"
This is the hectic creed of the years.
The damning lie that parents preach
To their conscience of the blame
For higher goals they failed to reach.
Immune, these sewers of wildcat tares?
There's a single garnered field
Where sickles of sorrow have cut their swarhs
But tells its tale of misery yield.
Co. look in the wards where the maniacs rave.
Their brain cells brmmed with liquid fire
Through mad misrule of uncurbed wills
Or the blight of foul desire.
And count if you can the blameless hosts
The waits unfathefed and unnamed
Who under the light of Gods blue sky
Must live their cheated lives ashamed
And ah! the ''drunks" and the derects
Lined day by day at the judges bar
And the man who lmps a shriveled limb
horrible visible moral scar!
And the frightened girl with her shame revealed
Leaping down where the moonbeams culver,
Her eptaph but the scornful line:
"a hoater dragged from the river"
And the men hard-pped and filled with fear
As they slip from the Doctors door,
Hiding his verdict of oathsome taint-
(Oh the wives who must pay THAT scoreD
Hating the secret noisomness
That saps with its creeping ills,
Hating the wild oats that they sowed
In the lustful pace that kills.
These the boys who would be boys,
Not held to straight-lsced moral code,
The boys who measured their golden youth
BY laws that license had bestowed.
They tread the trail where the serpent crawled
And are slimed with its vicious stain,
They plow their oats with the plow of sin
And reap with the sickle of pain
L'ENvoI-
And the cleaners who come in after years
Generations born under that spell?
In taint OF body and smrch of soul
They garner endless hell.
