Youth of the Nation

Barbed wire noose,
Cut throat devastation,
Left bleeding through your hands.

Skipping through the pages
A life in a word of history,
Counting the loss of miracles
In this lifeless mystery.

Simple mistakes and broken truth
In your imperfect miss-fit youth.

Flat line in the blood-pool,
Countdown in the breath,
Cut-throat suicide
That brings this life to death.
