Raise them and praise them
Of young people we freuqently speak ill,
Lacking in character and without any skill.
Grouping on street corners,smoking and drinking,
Breaking and smashing our opinions still sinking.
Our views of the young must not get too low,
Otherwise their egos will suffer a blow.
Raise them and praise them to pedestals high.
Well done,excellent reach for the sky.
You are the future get up and burn,
The flame of passion to live and learn

I like the optimism you present in the second half. A little optimism never hurt anyone. A thoughtful penning.
