If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

16 poems·Since September 2015

I was born in Guatemala City, Guatemala. I have lived all over the US since my dad was in the Army and now reside in the border city of El Paso, Texas. Although I do not have a long time writing poetry, I really love it and hope to grow as much as I can as a poet. I am currently studying English at El Paso Community College. I also aspire to have my work published. Most of the stuff I write is on the political spectrum.

Enough is Enough

September 21, 2015

 

Enough is enough by Christian Betancourt
 
Enough is enough to all these years of oppression and sorrow
Year after year hoping for a better tomorrow
 
Our people call for a gradual change
We are sick of feeling this dreadful pain
 
I say enough to corruption for once and for all
Let us all join hands and stand tall
 
For they think we are weak and hold no power
They are wrong, truly wrong
Let us stand like a tower
 
Enough is enough! We shall let our voices be free!
We are strong, mighty strong!
Let us show our power through civility
