Wasted Youth Poem by Qiniso Mogale

Wasted Youth

Rating: 5.0


Alcohol ravaging young lives
Drugs destroying young lives
Unprotected sex destroying young lives
Bad friends destroying young lives
Irresponsible parents destroying young lives
Young lives are ruined
Wasted youth.

The youth dominate graves
The youth lying in hospital beds
If lucky enough the youth in rehabilitation centers
The youth will not see old age
The youth are heading for an early grave
The youth die before their time
Wasted youth.

The youth refuse to listen to the aged
The youth won't listen to the voice of reason
The youth won't listen to sound counsel
The youth resent advice
The youth detest wisdom
They pretend to know it all
So they head to the grave very early
The grave is rich with unrealised talents
The grave is rich with wasted talents
Wasted youth.
