Please Tell Me The Truth!!!

A materialism and entitlement syndrome ruins supreme on high rotation.
Buck shifting expects of note.
Quick fix solutions makers for everything.
Matters of A B C.
No, not Abstain Be faithful Condomise
But “Apply Bums to Chairs” strategists.
Allergic to hard work.
No in fact “hard work” doesn’t exists in their vocabulary.
Commitment and sacrifice foreign concept to them.
Excuses, excuses, excuse and more excuses

To them politics are too dirty
Social economic issues complex matters for their liking.
But money
clubs
parties
buzz
sex
fashion
the in cool things.

So many rights, rightfully so.
but with no responsibilities attacked.
Allergic to hard work.
No in fact “hard work” doesn’t exists in their vocabulary.
Commitment and sacrifice foreign concept to them.

Whatever you do please don’t tell about
Steve Bantu Biko’s black consciousnesses rhetoric
Tshonyana Chris Hani’s revolution for righteousness.
Pastor Martin Luther King’s dream for all human.
Comrade Helen Suzman’s nonracial anti patriarchy society.
Those all boring outdated past parts of their lives.

But Nyanakancesh, what are this?
You ask.
“I don’t know” that’s my only answer.
These are “signs of walking dead youth”
You suggest.
” I don’t know” that’s still my answer.
Well you’ve read this poem- what do you think?
PLEASE TELL ME THE TRUTH!!!!
