Fame, Fortune Wealth

Is it not truly amazing
to note the aplomb
and insecurity both
evinced by those in the
teen years as they
survey their options,
shed the nascent personas;
layering and adapting
with increasing awareness
and serendipitous
understanding of their
place in society and the
world at large
finally emerging from
the still unformed state
to become insouciantly
self-assured, ready
to tilt at all those
windmills, behind
whose whirling blades
beckon fame,
fortune and wealth.
