Youth of Today

Youth of today, why suffer

For things you cannot offer?

Why hide in pain and darkness

For the ease of your oppress?

 

The blows you take, another feels;

The truth you hide, another steals;

The cuts you make, another blames;

The food you eat, another shames;

 

Take blows – but don’t hide anymore:

See truth – and come of out the door:

Find release – don’t take blame, end your pain:

Eat food – and let yourself retain:

 

With pain and dark and blade and ache

You endure until you break

And fade to nothingness – till great

Society picks your date.
