Crazy youth

Only if they know

By having little to show

That I a bird have brains

Like the rainwater drain

To discern right from wrong

Like the thief caught by throng

Moral to immoral

Even though I have been

With my great eye seen

That I am fraudulently misrepresented

By the poet acting as presenters

I walk to the other side of the roof

Like the hippo showcase his new hoof

Where I could see crazy youth

Going insane like bear less fruit

Take a look at that beautiful lady

Living her life which is a total shady

She doesn't even know what is contraceptive

Yet she wants to get interactive

By drinking, partying and smoking

And not living out the overall which is sexing

Do they even know what life means?

That they play with it taking no heed

But I can see past their heart

That their lonely, hopeless and hurt

Who should we blame?

The mother or the society which is lame

Do they realize they have been turned into zombies?

But hey who cares, they are my hommies

Cos I enjoy watching them

Living out their life without giving a dame

Cos life is too short

And don't care if their eyes are covered with frost.

But then they need to be guided

As their ancestors did

Lest they won't know where they are going

Or where they are coming from
