Empty hand

So many hopes and dreams swim around in my head,
I must accomplish them before I am dead.

Every day I look around and what I see just makes me frown.
All around me are upward spiraling prices, Everyone demanding pay rises.

I work hard every day aiming for the sky,
I hope that soon I will get my piece of pie.

Sometimes I wish things weren't moving so fast,
Back to the day when my money used to last.

At least there's still hope within my heart,
That I will one day earn my part.

Societal Bliss

In a world so full of turmoil
Everyday is a treasured gift
Many people fail to recall
The little things we are blessed with
So small to us, they seem insignificant
the more we get its the more we want
This rising greed of modern society
Is what makes us walk around blindly.
We are quick to turn and point our finger
and to give thanks and praise we never remember.
In a life so short we must be sure,
to live each day with care and compassion
There's more to life that glitz and fashion
Look around and educate yourself
Ignorance is bliss you say but its just an arrogant way
of pushing your guilt away.

QLC-Quarter Life Crisis

At the age of 16 usually you start thinking about where things are going in life. You are about to graduate from High school and then move on to the next stage of education. So you have to focus on what area of study you need to focus on. Then comes graduation and the job search. Most young graduates have a difficult time getting hired because most employers want to you to have work experience and the jobs where you dont need work experience you are overqualified for. This is the dilemma we all are faced with. Unless... you have parents with some sort of connections to get you hired in a decent company for a decent wage. So you ask yourself what was the point of all the years of hard work and study if this is how saturated the job market is?? Eventually you will find some sort of job where you are either over worked and underpaid or underworked and your mind begins to rot. In our generation we had this to deal with and an economic downfall. Ok so next step is: we all want to move out from our parents house but the cost of living is so ridiculously high and housing is too expensive. So what do we do?? hmm well alot of people have started squatting hahah! and a friend of mine used to joke about opening apartments on tambrind square. Its really a depressing life if you have ambition because the system and this capitalist society are all out there to milk it for what its worth. Or not worth. This sums up the Quarter life Crisis. HMMM whats next?
