You're Not Old Enough

That which has been hidden

is something we must see

That which has been refused

is something we must have

That which has been forbidden

is that something that is truly the most desired

Growing up

the old folks said

don't smoke

don't drink

no sex

you kids are just not

old enough

but as kids are

when hearing this

you know what's coming next

Forbidding

just ain't good enough

saying don't

doesn't get it done

See what they hear

from you all day

is you're not allowed

to share our fun

Well there they go

off on their own

they heard but never listened

The example you set

by the way you lived

was what in their eyes did glisten
