ABSURDITY

They said the youths
Are leaders of tomorrow 
That we're the future 
In a system we're not featured 
Where the youths are not in the picture
That's why they never nurture us
They always acting like vulture 
Giving us mental and emotional torture.

How would the youths 
Partake in a system 
That doesn't recognize them
Even to socialize is now a crime
Freedom of speech and movement 
Which is our fundamental human rights 
We've been denied, due to their insecurities.

They're brutalizing us
Traumatizing us
Same people 
That is supposed to protect us
Are the ones killing us
Inputting pains and fears in us
Just to sustain and maintain their negligence.
