Is Our Generation Dying

My heart is bleeding out Wondering what our generation is becoming of They and we, say we are the next leaders But who’s going to lead the country Drunkards? Corrupt persons? Our generation is dying While our leaders are lying Who’s going to save this generation? Students are taking shortcuts to excel, Youths consuming themselves in drugs and alcohol, While others engaging themselves in unprotected sex. Are our parents too busy to see this? Relatives are turning against their children And rape is the day to day news. Is someone out there fighting for this generation? Innocent kids are being neglected and introduced to prostitution While youths are recruited to join terrorism Is anyone listening to this generation? We can only pray to God that someone comes to rescue us.
