It used to be we valued youth

Apparently Mr Burnham and his media crew,

Have a serious mission they want to do,

They want to help the youth and stop the rot,

Let all of the youth have opportunities they got,

Unfortunately the plan isn’t very clear,

And it might in fact cost us all dear,

You see they want us to work until we’re seventy,

At the same time telling us the coffers are empty,

More tax you’ll have to pay,

And no one must neigh say,

Youth is wonderful and they want to learn

That’s why they never wanted to complete a

school term,

You see in days of old they could work with

others,

They were all close and felt like brothers,

Now no one gives a dam it’s what they see on the

media,

So they either Google or look at  Wikapedia,

Often they get the wrong end of the stick,

And are told ” good grief you’re really thick,”

A lowly job is all you’re good for,

Now even those jobs  are scarce and becoming

folklore,

It needs more than a Politician’s hot air,

And devolving tax to a Mayoral lair,

Creating another layer of Royalty,

With expanding layers of Government inevitably

There is no plan and businesses can’t compete,

If their only option is to employ a NEET.

Namaste and Thank you for Reading🙏
