We Don't Need Help


The world has become harsh and cruel today

No sorry or thank you or please or good day!

Somewhere right now, women are crying

They're crying because their children are dying.

Men are at war and the government says we're fine!

No, I'm not buying-this.

This degrading climate, the economy that's in a dump

And they're trying to convince us we are taking high jumps!

I'm not saying they're useless, I'm not saying they're no good

But if only my people, my country men stood - up

Take a stand, for you are citizen of this nation

We're not just tomorrow's leaders, we're today's sensations!

The new generation which can speak for itself

You've done enough and now, we don't need help

A new poet with an old soul. I enjoy reading books, listening to music and watching old movies. I have recently gotten into poetry, mainly slam and would really appreciate any advice/criticism from the talented poets on here.
