Favorite Quote:
Ambitious work can be accomplished only in silence,exile,and cunning- James Joyce


                    The youth of the modern ages

should be innocent like a book of unfilled pages.

But the sad truth is that modern youth

believe in lies and not the truth.

Late nights and early mornings,

they are unaware and do not heed the warnings.

They blindly follow every trend,

not realizing where their future may end.

Yet while you stand aside and watch them end

the worst part to me is you call them friends.
