The Youth

The youth just wake up with nothing to do They do send out cvs but they are never called for any interview Day in and day out they are aging Everyday, they wonder when is their situation changing And the government refuses to hire anyone above 35 years of age Prices are sky high, we cant afford the few necessities with the current minimum wage The country is run by old peoole who known nothing about the youth A cabinet of old goons who know no truth Employment is meant for those with connection Too many youth are graduating but will only stay at home with their hard earned qualification Another day, another degree gathering dust Corruption and nepotism in my country is like cancer, its spreading fast Fresh business ideas with no one to fund or any start up cash The system is setting up the youth for huge failure and we will crash Written By Innocent Maatjie
