Young Warriors

They're getting ready
the young ones
with army boots and pierced nipples
they 're getting ready
for the wars
coming later already begun
they're getting ready
with wild songs
hell-raisers co-opting nirvana
they're getting ready
for chaos
to trample the reign with a whimper
and bang and start again
they're getting ready
the young ones
tattooed warriors poised to leap
into the quantum void
they're getting ready
for the end
and they're screeching swan songs with buzzsaws
they're toughening up
the young ones
embracing despair like it was hope.
