Children of Apathy.

Unemployed without a clue,
With no ideas of what to do,
These ageing children lack the drive,
To keep their fragile souls alive.

Monday morning at the dole,
Or facing life with no parole,
They can’t percieve a good career,
Interviews their greatest fear.

Bills mount up and money’s tight,
So they’re forced to sell themselves at night,
In depression they seem so weak,
Stuck in a cycle so grim and bleak.

Oo I like this one, Andrew. You go into many aspects of soceity without overdoing it at all. I definitely like the last few lines. There is a lot of power behind these words and a lot of truth as well.

Wow, thanks for the read. Hope to see many more soon.

ooooh...this is a very confronting issue. its sad and frustratingly infuriating to know that there are still kids out there forced to work the streets at night. deep thoughts here zu, well done on the poem ol' chap!
