And while we're young..

"Damn the work",
"Damn the school",
"Damn that b****",
"Damn the world".

The feelings of us these days,
Are changing so much, that they make us pay,
With happiness, joy and peace,
In return for a bloody and angsty disease.

Sometimes we feel life owes us something,
Or the world has too many faults that keep coming.
At times its like our parents dont stop nagging,
And sometimes we even resort to some begging.

We don't give a hoot about the cleaners,
Or bother to give a smile to our neighbours.
We complain of aunties on the train,
But little do we know our efforts are in vain.

For youth these days are brave and strong,
But I am sure something has gone very wrong.
We've forgotten that maybe, sometimes,
Of our position in this lifetime.

For youths are not gifts to this world,
But instead it should be vice-versa.
The world and all in it is a gift to us,
And we should be appreciating it with our hearts.

Enough about the complaints of the air-con being too hot,
Or the work that i have to submit by through the internet.
Enough about how the food is too cold,
Enough about how our parents dont understand.

There'll come a day when we grow old,
And we'll look back and see how we grew mould,
On our brains, characters and soul when we were young,
Because we wasted our time doing things that didnt help anyone.

And while we're young,
We've got this power.
Of bursting energy, love,
And passion like no other.

And while we're young,
These things must be put,
somewhere else in this world,
For greater love, peace and truth.

So today, I hope that youths will see. That maybe our lives are better than we make them out to be. Put the energy we waste everyday, into something youthful, for joy today.
