Now What Can They Do

They went into Territorial Army
Not their arrangement for studying
Life is a teacher of cross ends
We need to experience to live
The first position is taken by one person
And such are opportunities to survival
The minority have succeeded in life
A few people living their additional years
Have respect and love to share
A crowd of youths
Have a conscious of destruction
A mind to react negatively
And mislead the mass
The advice from elders is of the essence
To some they think

A few people have entered our lives
And gone away with time
Now what can they do
It’s natural after all
Death is meant to happen with time
We get near it every the next day
And every struggle is a risk
They have started carrying
People in sacks as snacks
We have not known whether it’s legal or not
But perhaps it is legal
A few laws are read after a crime committed
They have got money through concentration
It is life risking
They lack but jobs and advice alone
They accomplished edification
And that’s what they can do now
Now what can they do
