This poem was written right after Parkland Stoneman Douglas high School shooting on February 14th, 2018 where 17 innocent people (15 children and 2 school teachers) died. Here are their pictures.
Because we are young,
You think we aren’t strong;
Because we are in school-
You think all of us are fool.
Because we don’t earn,
You think we can’t get stern;
Because we are underage-
You think we don’t have courage.
Because of your negligence too many lives are lost,
We promise we will not let you make a profit at our cost;
We are a mixture of all colors and creed-
Black, white, brown, yellow and of special need.
We are more powerful than you can imagine,
No matter how much you support the sale of rifles or magazine;
We don’t need money to buy a seat-
At town hall, upper house, lower house or senate.
We want to be proud of our country,
Where children don’t die from hunger or poverty;
But they die because of neglect of the lawmakers-
Who allow the use of weapon on us.
Now that you have acquired our mistrust so much,
No one in this whole wide world has seen a disgrace as such;
We want to enjoy our childhood and grow up someday-
That is if you let us walk along that way.
Our innocent and malice free hearts’ rage will hit you so hard,
It will be the waves of a tsunami that will break iron guard;
If you don’t take any action to save us our leaders, dear-
To carry your coffin there will not be any pallbearer.
