    STEP UP TO THE PLATE
    Adults should set examples for our youth
    I must enlighten you to the bitter truth,
    We see them doing wrong, on the subway & bus
    Raising a ruckus, or causeing a fuss
    Running and jumping and using profanity,
    It's enough to question one's sanity
    The adults just watch, and sit in their chair
    To say one word, they don't even dare
    If we showed concern, it may tone down their fun
    Just step up to the plate, you may hit a home run

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
