Download MP3 here: mattswriting.com I wrote this sonnet at age 16. I still like it, so I decided to record it. Instrumental is sampled from 'Soul Survivor' by Young Jeezy. Produced by DJ Matt Werner Sonnet 19: What time will teach my adolescence wit?// And what will adolescent wit, teach time?// For adolescents lack that wit, of which// Adults preoccupy themselves to find.// But happy I am lacking this insight,// And free am I in my own ignorance.// My little sense is seen in what I write—// For age brings wisdom, and wisdom brings sense.// Those older need this spare sense to erase// The masks they wear to hide their dreams' design.// Age's mask is not how time shapes one's face,// Rather, how one shapes his face, facing time.// How peculiar is time's sense in age forsooth!// Searching for the wisdom that it had in youth.
