Travail For the Young
children growing up in a bewildering moral landscape
what is right, what is wrong, what is politically correct
with mindless amusements or habits they seek escape
the media, education, religion they all opposing direct
the parents fared no better, controlled and farmed by big corporation
forced to deny and reject healthy lifestyles for a media fairyland
fears of security used to control peoples and their co-operation
many disillusioned escape in drugs or simply bury their head in sand
The true God is rejected and must not interfere in education or morals
unborn are murdered, the sick, the old, the unproductive used as guinea pigs
manliness, bravery, patriotism are rejected garlanded with florals
out is male and female, in is all manner of sexual thingamajiggs
is it any wonder the young are confused
good is condemned and evil behaviour excused
brainwashed by legal lies that the real truth is refused
the future looking foggy and so none is enthused
What is truth asked once a ruler to Him who is the truth
What is truth, what is the meaning asks today's youth
Where will they get their truth in a morass of lies
Who will lead them to the truth, who will hear their cries
