Bambu, my advice for the youth is to find true love, LOVE is what this life is all about. And I have written a lot of poetry, and a movie, to try to teach the youth. Scorsese says that you should continue to make movies as long as you have something to say, and I have a lot to say.
Here is a poem that I wrote a long time ago to teach the youth to find true love...
Atherosclesosis
by T.L. Verley
The true love of which all seek
but seldom grab onto
The real stuff of which all speak
but seldom ever do
Above riches, reputation, and all of self
We need it like air
Yet it sits on the shelf
Our tender souls we won't share
Afraid to be hurt and won't take the time
It won't be your's this way
Nor will it be mine
Tis a futile game we play
We fake it with imposters in the beginning
In between what we convince ourselves counts
And we make believe we are living
While we are dying in large amounts
Learn young, hold out, and when it comes hold on
Make love the roots of all you do
Your tree of life will be beautiful and strong
And every phony that did not will wish they were you.

Poetry, movies, television shows, etc, can help to teach the youth. I want to teach the youth to find true love.
Salute,
Tony V.
