The Young Revolutionaries

 

Our unjust society has created an entire generation of revolutionaries

Triggered by the economical, environmental, social, and political burden that they carry

Not of their own creation

But by consequences that were passed on to them by previous generations

On March 24, 2018, in Washington D.C.

The people marched

Fathers marched

Mothers marched

Brothers marched

Sisters marched

They marched for those who have become involuntary martyrs

Not because they had a political agenda but because they were maliciously slaughtered

7 children and teens are killed by gun violence on a daily basis

But statistics don't remember faces

They don't project the pain and grief that follows

They don't break your heart to the point where your soul feels hollow

They don't store the fading memories of your child

Like the time when your daughter was a baby

and looked at you the first time she smiled

The people long for the day when America no longer has to compromise

with an inhumane nonprofit responsible for its demise

The children have begun to mobilize

A change is inevitable when time is on your side

These young revolutionaries will reignite liberty's torch with their spoken truth

The definition of justice in America will be rewritten by today's youth

 

Come Take A Walk With Me
