Trapped Generation

Our generation is trapped

In a maze with no way out



Saying your in love and

Don’t know what it’s about



Singing songs that degrade

Women and joining gangs

like leeches



But when it’s time to talk

About your future you don’t

Say anything



Speechless



Trapped in a room with no light



Old enough to know the difference

And still do the wrong instead of the right



Trapped in a mask of no love only hate

Thinking using a gun is the best way to communicate



Swimming in a lake of opportunity but

don’t absorb anything but pollution



caused by low self esteem , drugs , and dropping out

creating your own execution



Your slowly diving off a cliff

With no brakes



Forgetting that in life you

Have to give to take



Writing your life in pen no

Room to make mistakes

That you can’t erase



As poverty and death

Catches you by surprise

You open your eyes

And start to realize



That this isn’t the way

you want to live your lives



Here you are chained to a

World of ignorance

With no bliss



Yet your walk the path

You have chosen still pissed



At all the world of opportunities

That you could have had but missed



I could continue to write

This never ending list



But I’m busy trying not

to get lost in this hazy mist



Because I’m working to reach

My goals I set out to accomplish
