Questions Youth ask

Why must our voices be heard when it suits you

Why must we be heard when our agenda is in line with yours

When we mobilise why do you fear

Are you so hell bent on keeping your status quo?

Keeping your position of privilege

Privilege that you have immersed off the backs of people like us

Privilege that has been gathered

From the sweat and blood of souls that could never speak out

You bring out guns and propaganda to stop us

To stop the generation born from a generation that was voiceless

You try to stop the spread of our opinions

Because you know the truth we speak will alter your lies

You live in fear when you see a group of us

You live in fear when you hear us speak of change

You fill our minds with distractions that turn us against each other

Fighting amongst each other is a sight you would freely endorse

For you know that would keep the scent off you

You are quick to point out what is wrong

Too quick to point out the things that keep our minds off of you

Because you think if you are out of our sight

Your actions will inevitably escape our thoughts and be out of our minds

Why must our voices be heard when it suits you

Why must we be heard when our agenda benefits you
