TODAY’S YOUTH
They argue, they fight, And talk about their rights.
Why don't they get their responsibilities?
They feel sorrow and distressed, And never ease and rest.
Why don't they take things positively? They show anger and aggression,
And lot of savage expressions.
Why don't they react patiently?
They insult and disrespect,
And elders' orders they neglect
Why don't they regard them cordially?
Their attitude is the essence,
Which I'm sure is the legacy.
May be it's the time to realise our flaw,
And bring a change that we forsee.
Why don't they get their responsibilities?
They feel sorrow and distressed, And never ease and rest.
Why don't they take things positively? They show anger and aggression,
And lot of savage expressions.
Why don't they react patiently?
They insult and disrespect,
And elders' orders they neglect
Why don't they regard them cordially?
Their attitude is the essence,
Which I'm sure is the legacy.
May be it's the time to realise our flaw,
And bring a change that we forsee.
