Foibles
Ocean waves washed up new found hopes and dreams that the last generation knew all too well, but had failed to accomplish.
Sea saw
Up and down
Thousands of faces
Searching for
Shells and purpose
Seeking perfection
Silliness of it all
Vanity in breaking wind
Time compromised
Thus ready to spend
Ocean waves washed up new found hopes and dreams that the last generation knew all too well, but had failed to accomplish. It was beautifully dramatic and pitifully awe-inspiring. Indeed, there was not much of anything the sun's rays had not touched or viewed, despite the oceans attempts to wash away the world's worries. Alas, both the sun and the ocean felt gratitude for one another's strengths and obvious, earthly foibles.

A dead past does not put a halt to a new future. A year later, Kaffy, a highly intelligent, creative, bookish, and preppy Nigerian-Canadian 15-year-old girl was released from juvenile prison. She was arrested and charged with petty theft and assault, and was sentenced to a year in prison. Her sentence was supposed to be 6 months for stealing a lollipop, a chocolate bar, a pack of playing cards, and a bag of Cheeto's cheesies from 7-Eleven, but she received another 6 months for kicking, punching, and hitting another female inmate across the face during an altercation in the canteen.
