How many shall seek their own way

How many shall seek their own way
How many shall waste the day
On fortunes that waste away
Before the dark of day

How many shall seek to find
That which will not endure
How many shall yet implore
The wisdom of this world

While all the while
They live in denial
Of what stands before
How long must wisdom wait

How long before their eyes shall see
How long until their youth shall flee
When will their hearts be changed
To know the love that won't let go

-Joshua Lee Foist
