Embrace The Youth?
How can one embrace a society of youth
It's a liquid poison spilling no truthย
Transmitted diseases over Netflix and chill
University degrees drank away at willย
How can one embrace a society of youthย
Snapchat, Facebook, Insta for fake proof
If there's not a selfie, then it didn't happen
What's with the puppy dog ears flapping?ย
How can one embrace a society of youthย
Fear of changing gender, heads in a noose
A sad reality in today's mental healthย
Love, is only our real personal strengthย
How can one embrace a society of youthย
20 chicken nuggets, where's all the fruit?
Starting out to work, already crippled in debtย
They've practically had sex before they've even metย
How can one embrace a society of youthย
We are not perfect, the strings are too loose
Unrealistic reality lived on a smartphone
For a like or comment they're selling their soulย
Where is the change going?
Unknown seeds in utter ruin?ย
I was young in a different eraย
But was I a healthy dreamer?
One thing I do know though
I was still a learning soul...

Wow Tony! Fantastic comment, you're so right, I'm not sure if I'm fully focusing on the bad side of the youth of today but still this direction where it's going is horrendous, I just want to scream at them and tell them that they have the strength to do anything, not just to be followers of what people see as what's accepted in "normal" society, it's their dreams their goals their life what needs to be lived! Not somebody else's just so they can judge, sorry for blabbing ?? here here poet brother thanks again โฎ? Tony ?????
Kids are more and more becoming introverts depending on gadgetsย to communicate. how sad. it started with the boob-tube babysitter and will not end till eventually our children will ultimately have these accessoriesย surgicallyย implanted in the brains.
Well penned my friend
Thanks very much P! The sad reality is, that the more they're trying to make it look good, I fear the more and more they are feeling lost, alone and insecure as individuals, behind closed doors, we as parents or the older generation, sometimes needs to step up to the plate, I see some kids how they get treat and it's just immoral, our kids need the right kind of role models, the ones who love them, not the ones on reality tv or airbrushed magazines! Ooh, rant over haha sorry ???
Whilst I agree with some of the sentiment, I have issue with some of the content - thanks for writing this (always good to have the old grey matter inspired!)...I've penned a response.

Excellent! ?? I do realise that this can come off pretty harsh, but I see and hear this kind of subject matter on a weekly basis, and it can be harsh, but reality is that to, brilliant bad rhymes I'll check it out! ??
Posted - "Anthem for our not so doomed youth".
Cheers Wayne.
I'm on it! ?
It's not just the youth, this age of social media has gripped some of the older generation, I was sitting in a cafe recently when I looked up and saw an older couple having coffee, she was on her phone and he was reading a paper. Silence was all they shared, a type of silence that splits a relationship, silence born from this fake world. Its becoming too much for me though.ย
Great poem Wayne, always a pleasure.ย
Brilliant comment Gerard, you're right too, that aspect of technology is coming for everybody haha, thanks for reading ??
Thanks for pin! ???
