New generation
Location
What I want in my life is not much.
For you its garbage, but for me it's lunch.
My alarm clock is bullet's flying.
My days are filled with people dying.
I see my mother crying.
She says she’s not hurt, but i know she’s lying.
Every day we live in fear.
I would cry, but I ran out of tears.
Our family keeps us alive, but yet we don't see.
How we turn our head around and there's one in need.
I'm sick of this world's sorrow.
Someone’s life I would love to borrow.
But this is not the end.
I know it’s not far, because soon I’ll become a star!!!

This is what every child that's suffering wishes for.
Why sit around when you can help them open another door.
One without fear.
Where everything is clear.
We all need a new start.
And put hopes in our hearts.
We all deserve a chance at our future.
So let’s not make this life torture.
We spend our days doing nothing but hoping.
Aint that outrageous.
Please don't you all forget.
Life aint over yet.
Let’s start a new beginning.
Because I’m done fearing.
We need to start believing and finally begin living.
***
Because this? This is our generation.
We need a new nation.
One without starvation.
Make education our dedication.
Also, no discrimination.
Because we are all, Allah's creations!!!!!!!!

It's wonderful how each section of the poem shows the progression of the speaker, as they realize that equality, and a world without discrimination is what we need to live happily together. Have you thought about making this theme a collection of poems, or maybe making a video showing how being kind to one another can change the world for the better?
