Democracy Back In the Origin
Democracy is
The leadership of the youth and
the guidance by the elders
I wish it was so today
I see deceitful guidance all over places
Leaving the youth to wonder and suffer
Exploiting the genious in us
While the youth get confuse
Where hopes are high or low
Our elders are busy with lies
Democracy is
The leadership of the youth and
the guidance by the elders
Alot of youth on the streets
Where creativity is common
But with out sencse nor support
The youth of today got vission
Yet the mission looks impossible
Is like we are left alone
Is like we are just on our own
The elders sim close but
Yet so far to reach
For how long our rights are just a struggle
Democracy is
The leadership of the youth and
the guidance by the elders
Our elders no more give us the chance to lead
Is like our youthful energy is only for their greed
The elders look scard
The elders are scard of our creativity
They are scard of change
While they are meant to guide it
Our elders don't believe in us
The reality today shows it all
We use to get our elderly suports
Not now any more
So we are left on our own
As crimes never seize to depart from our youthful age life's
Democracy
Is the leadership of the youth and the guidance of the elders
Yet civilization turn it away
To a modern trend
Where control and power only belongs to polictician
Civilization civilise the fool in us
It makes us live but our presence don't exist
It turn the head to think just straight
With out vission nor moral observation
We no longer have enough elders whom are to guide us
So you see crazy youths all over the globe on the streets
Behind your backyards
In the corners of the road
Forming groups gangs
With a high spirits that never care to listen
All because we chose to be civilised
As we change democracy to
What reality says today!
