Voices of a Forgotten Generation
<p><em>Voices of a Forgotten Generation </em></p><p><br/></p><p>Sitting in my corner, sobering,</p><p>Suddenly heard a crowd lamenting.</p><p>Moving closer to their broken voices,</p><p>I realized they were people of my country.</p><p><br/></p><p>People of my land are grieving </p><p>Battling with penury, dwelling in scarcity.</p><p>Education no longer guarantees the key;</p><p>Unemployment spreads across like a pandemic.</p><p><br/></p><p>Youths are panicking for power,</p><p>But the old ones claim it's not yet our hour.</p><p>They call the youths incapable and “lazy,”</p><p>Yet they say we’re the ones being hasty.</p><p><br/></p><p>We are called leaders of tomorrow,</p><p>But never included in leadership roles.</p><p>How would you know if we are capable,</p><p>When no chance was ever given?</p><p><br/></p><p>Every season they claim the seats.</p><p>Not enemies of your policies,</p><p>But let our voices be heard, let the stress reduce </p><p>Or better still, let the old flow into the new.</p>
