Gave the Youth a Chance

gave the youth a chance
don't deny the youth 
a chance to live 
don't help them lose 
the usefulness 
of their youthful energy

the youth are the 
power force 
I wish they know 
the youth are not 
meant to be just 
a political thug
or for a religious 
suicides nor murder

they are the energy 
force for every nation

gave the youth 
the privileges they
deserve

while the elders 
norture and guide their 
creativity with 
their truthful advice

the third world 
need a chance 
for the youth 

till now the ways 
things stands 
we are left behind 
the clock
