This poem borrowed the rhyme scheme of Robert Frost’s «Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening»: AABA-BBCB-CCDC-DDDD

YOUTH

Seeking for a job? Unemployed.
Generation lost, null and void,
Prisoners’ damnation, dark sensation.
Sea of weariness, hope mutilation.

Days go by, growing hesitation,
Months go by, no expectations,
Silent generation, texting in mobiles,
Disposable, wasted youth nation.

Precariat existence, unfit profile,
Suspended lives, going global,
Entrenched economy, entrapped future.
No available jobs, labour immobile.

Success prophecies’s producers,
Dream illusions, for sale creatures,
Coming destiny adventures,
Grim featured, promised future.
