The Youth

The youth just wake up with nothing to do
They do send out cvs but they are never called for any interview
Day in and day out they are aging
Everyday, they wonder when is their situation changing
And the government refuses to hire anyone above 35 years of age
Prices are sky high, we cant afford the few necessities with the current minimum wage
The country is run by old peoole who known nothing about the youth
A cabinet of old goons who know no truth
Employment is meant for those with connection
Too many youth are graduating but will only stay at home with their hard earned qualification
Another day, another degree gathering dust
Corruption and nepotism in my country is like cancer, its spreading fast
Fresh business ideas with no one to fund or any start up cash
The system is setting up the youth for huge failure and we will crash
