Youth Are Suffering

Dreams once bright now dim with pain, Hearts weighed down by endless strain. The young cry out, unheard, unseen, Lost in the cracks where hope had been. Books replaced by burdens to bear, Empty pockets, futures unfair. Promises spoken but never kept, Silent battles where many wept. Their laughter drowned by hunger’s call, Their spirits bruised by systems that fall. Yet in their eyes, a fire remains, A spark of courage through the chains. O world, awaken, hear their plea, Let justice flow, let young hearts be free. For every youth deserves the right, To walk in peace, in love, in light.
