Youth: Hope Of The Fatherland?

Youth, are you really the hope of the fatherland? Then, to the fate of this land you are bound If you're really the hope of the fatherland Then, don't just try to sink other's feet below ground Don't just try to do worthless things when no one's around The sun on the east is already high Try to wake up, so the dreams of this land will not die *For the youth who prefer to scour for easy money than build a foundation for their future. In reference to Dr. Jose Rizal.* January 25, 2024, PST, SPC

Wow! A great write. They don’t realize the consequences of laziness sowed.

Thank you very much dear... taking from the writing of my country's national hero: "the youth are the hope of the fatherland"... It seems that many really can't understand what it means or they are completely ignorant of it... Or maybe just really lazy...
