WE are the Children of America
WE are the children of America
The children of those who traveled land and sea.
The children of those who plowed fields and picked trees.
The children of those who wore white masks and carried torches.
WE are the children of America
The ones who were promised a better future filled with gold, silk, and rings.
The ones who live the American Dream and are ALLOWED to think.
The ones who live on land built by someone's blood and tears.
WE are the children of America
The few who are LUCKY to be born here.
The few who live in a FIRST world country.
The few who struggle to survive because of a BELITTLING 2%.
WE are the children of America
The children who see the world through rose-tinted glasses.
The children who embrace the LGBTQ and the rights of all.
The children who are utterly depressed because they are UNPREPARED for the real world that isn't ruled by a grade.
WE are the children of America
We are the children of the free
WE are the children of those
Who CLAIM there is NOTHING else to see.
But
WE are the suffering children
The children who can't help but FEEL
The children who are subjected
To many
MANY
Societal ideals.
And
WE are the children of the oppressors.
Yes,
WE are the children of the enslaved.
WE are the children of those
Who made the world this way.
But
WE aren't just suffering children.
And
WE aren't just labeled as theirs.
WE are the next gen of children
That will make everything fair.
WE are
The generation that will END suffering.
The generation that will END world hunger.
The generation that will ACHIEVE equality.
Because
WE are the next generation of people that will emphasize ETHICS not test scores.
Because
WE are the next generation of people that will teach endless LOVE not bigotry and hate.
Because
WE are next generation of people that will provide ENCOURAGEMENT and not expectations.
Because
WE are the next generation of people that will end war and bring PERMANENT peace.
We are the children of America
We aren't all that we seem.
We are the children of the world
And are more than WE think we can be.
So
For the sake of better future .
For the sake of our dear, dear friends.
For the sake of our future children.
And
For the sake of our next, next gen...
WE are the children of America
And because
WE are children of the world
We should be able to change,
And
We should be able to love.
We should be able to achieve that perfect
PERFECT
Dream.
A dream that we all FOUGHT for,
A dream that we all FIGHT for,
A dream that we WILL fight for.
A dream, of a PERFECT world.
A dream of a PERFECT country.
A dream of a perfect, perfect,
PERFECT
America.
