Youth??

The Youth, now lives amongst lies not in truth
Raised by propaganda and taught by the media’s ways
No one’s yearning to begin true learning
Such shameful ways of living, these are truly new days.
They’d rather listen to the voice on the radio rather their conscious
Do away with the books, become crooks then engage in nonsense
In truth, not all but collectively this is our new youth
Created by characters of MTV and radicalism they see
Not true adults the youth should aspire to be
An age when guys clothe themselves in women’s attires
An age when the youngest children are trained as hypocritical liars
An age of no heroes and individuality
An age that is beginning to adjust to insanity
This the age of the youth
We’re all screwed

Right on James. We have the brightest generation ever and they are being force fed bulls--t. Hopefully there will be a turning point when they realize they are being used. Vince

I agree. The youth of today are also infuenced by rap and heavy metal music too. Lots of truth written here.
