YOUTHFUL EXORBITANCE
They were known for their diligence
They had their lives planned out by their parents
Despite coming from two different backgrounds
They did set aside their differences
They soon became an inseparable pair
Lines kept falling in the right places
The Heavens shined on their faces
Mother nature blessed their little efforts
At an adolescent stage of their lives
With the sudden absence of family to guide them
Their dreams died inside them
They were pulled into the societal vices
The nooks and cranny of the street became their abode
With no home to call their own
They lived a high life
With crimes increasing on the fast side
Soon their names struck fear in the hearts of many
Their reputation preceded them eventually
They became role models to the young ones for the wrong reasons
From clubhouse to clubhouse they partied
Latest accessories they acquired
At this stage of their lives, there was nothing out of their reach which they desired
Little did they know, this is all vanity
Their insatiable quest for wealth and fame drove them to their insanity
