Youth Lost

This has become an indescribable truth For among us lie waiting the lost youth Youth misled, directed to walk astray Youth shattered, disrupted, put in disarray Youth of yesterday. The lack of foundation, the lack of a drive Keeps these lost youth despaired and deprived As hopeless and reckless they outwardly saunter With callous abandon they inwardly ponder A disturbing blunder. The youth are descending to outcomes so grim A generations' gain falling dangerously slim The youth less future casts weary and meek The pain of low expectations lay pitifully weak The future looks bleak.
