Let me tell you, son

[博弈]

when you were a boy
I told you there's Santa

when you were a teenager
I told you there's God

when you are a man
I tell you there's Country

when you are about to get married
I'll tell you there's Family
then I will shut up for a while

till I am really old or about to leave
I will tell you there is Death and Love

That's all

Good. Not sure if it needs the last two lines though I understand what you mean.

all the things I've said
either a lie ornamented
or served a life discourse
at a particular time
then you have to find out
for yourself
these two things we can be
sure of: death and love

what would you tell your son
in his early life
if he was born somewhere else
other than in USA ?

[博弈]

that's a good question
and I don't have an answer
for I don't have that experience

but if I guess, what a society
can do to excite kids and motivate teenagers
is important in shaping what they will behave
in the next 30 years; then we all come to
similar endings: death and love
