Chapter 5 - The young mans burden.

Pile on the young mans burden

Give us a world we have to fix

A world of raging fire

Of extinction and politics

Revere the old mans success

A world of dull concrete

A world of factories and machines

A world so incomplete

No! Pile on the young mans burden

Say we know not a thing

As we replace tar with trees

No! Let your grey world reign.
