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!
