YES WE CAN

  • To be set free, but locked away in my own cell of fear

YES WE CAN

To learn and to teach
To teach and to care
Exhibiting that no star is out of reach
Our future is ours to declare
As individuals we begin to sail
Building up goals and careers

To all those who believed us to fail
All negativity towards us disappears
Our mission as the new generation
Is to be the best
To show ourselves in an improved reflection
That we are truly blessed

To have our horizons expanded
And great decisions
But nothing is ever handed
Combination of different visions
From a teacher
From a parent
Even a stranger
It's all transparent

To learn and explore
To find the us we want to be
It's nothing you can ignore
It is our plan
All because of YES WE CAN!

Well done. This should be a rallying call for all young people everywhere. Did it ever get published? If not, you should try to get it published.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
