Futures, Change, Lives
April 17, 2018
We are the future
What we do now
What we fight for
Can change
Everything
We come up with
Ideas to make a
Difference
You can say that
It is okay
But I say
Never Again
Your idea could
Work
Change
The world
You say that my
Ideas are stupid
We can’t make it
Stop
Have hope
Pray that
It isn’t
You
Push me down
I want
Change
I won’t
Let my children
Grow up in fear
If our lives
Are threatened
Why
Do we
Come back to a place
That isn’t safe
Go home
Think
What is more important?
Your guns
Or
Your future
Your amendments
Or
Our lives
Let your future
Decide
If we feel safe
Do some
Change|Thing
My time has come…
Goodbye
