Youth

Hi5, orkut, facebook, twitter,
Makes me smile- makes me glitter!

Talk of text- think of status,
Nothing can stop- none can break us!

For I am young, so full of energy,
The locker of talent, I am the key!

Of course the books are running out of date,
And the internet’ve become the trend of late!	

But talent, focus and determination,
Are embedded in us- we’ve an ambition.

Gone are the days when  elders suppressed the young,
‘’They are the best’’ this song they sung!

But each day now we prove our worth,
With every step we move forward and forth.


Corrupted rule and motivate to crime,
In the crowd of lakhs - they stand as prime,

Our voice finds no echo- none lends a hand,
But we’ll stand someday where today you stand!!
And then we’ll build a better place,
Free of price tags, free of caste and race,
One can’t change alone, we need you,
‘’youth- you can change the world’’ its true!!
