Where are all the Men and Women?

Where are all the men and women?

All I see around me are boys and girls.

Where are all the men and women?

There are so few of you left.

The boys and girls of my generation

There’s no substance, no conviction

Their words have no action

They say one thing

Promises mean nothing

I don’t understand the languages they speak

I don’t know how to decode them

What is it that they seek?

Their lips move

But they speak no truth

It’s meaningless

It’s aimless

It’s hopeless

There’s no validity to what they say

I want to go away

Far away

To a place of integrity and honesty

Where are all the men and women?

All I see around me are boys and girls

Where are all the men and women?

There’s so few of you left

What happen to the days

when people kept their words?

All they do now is play games

They all want the perk

But none of them wants to do the work

It seems fame is fame

And it is the destination

But how can I blame?

All around me

people sell their souls

for their five-minutes of fame.

You see,

It’s a shame.

A meaningless effort.

People worship false roles

Like a man on a desert

Reaching for the fountain

Only to realize it’s just a mirage

Where are all the men and women?

All I see around me are boys and girls

Where are all the men and women?

There’s so few of you left
