When elders are fools
Youth are lost
They wander for lack of meat
When lies are preferred
Wisdom starves
Confusion trips all their feet
When old provokes young
Trust is gone
Their fury sounds in the street
A refuge of lies
Cannot stand
It burns in the time of heat
Because of no truth
The old lose
Their authority is fleet
Respect is removed
Lies won't fill
For hunger the young sheep bleat
Their parents lacked love
Divorce reigned
Turmoil pounded like sleet
The youth learned folly
No knowledge
Doing as learned, not discreet
Millennials lost
Had no chance
Cries ignored. The streams they weeped
So the hearts grow cold
Icy breaths
Chillingly tell the defeat
Hypocrites rule us
Judgement gone
How long will our backs they beat?
We are forsaken
Never heard
Hear not the cries we entreat
Youth are lost
