As the rain falls down from the skies
Cries from justified positions all over the globe
Weeping for the opportunity to partake and probe
Depressed by oppression!!!
We scream
You call us mean, are you supreme?
We want an input in our own future
But you left us with indecision
Is that your mission?
Jargon fills our policies with ways to advance youth involvement
But in our own communities we are left stagnant
How can we lead tomorrow if we are not leading today?
Where will we get experience without opportunities in our pathway?
You claim incompetence in the decision-making process
But how, without a fair chance to exercise, to assess?
You have experience and we have eagerness
So let's synergize and share power to create our dreams
Our hearts are filled with nostalgia and anticipation for contribution
Rather than marginalizing us, grab us with guidance
to create balance
Splatter us with possibility
Sprinkle us with opportunity
Overwhelm us with panorama
to end this trauma
Allow us to create our own motions
With your guidance and our actions
with your knowledge and our judgment
In an attempt to live together
to craft contentment in an ill-contented planet
and create inner peace that shines as outer peace.
