Smoke and Mirrors


Power to the people or power to the government?

That’s the question

I say Power to the Youth

We’re the next Generation

I won’t lie, the future looks scary

Teens getting pregnant, teens dropping out

College graduates not finding their places

End up collecting burgers and fries instead of big paychecks

This “Land of the Free”

It’s not really free, if everyone is trapped in money
