The New Generation Poem by Hebert Logerie

The New Generation

Rating: 5.0


Betrayed and backstabbed
By our African brothers.
Insulted, humiliated and robbed
By Our European brothers.
We are the descendants
Of defeated Kings and Queens.
We are the infants
Of two distressed twins.
Sold like cattles,
Winners of many battles:
We are the new generation,
We are the fine products
Of a new creation.
We walk proud like ducks
Of the newly man-made lakes,
We helped and we chased away the fakes:
We are the dreams of our forefathers.
We are, at last, speaking in unison,
Like cousins, like brothers and sisters;
Every day, we are forging new union.
We are stronger than ever,
We are smarter than the dead fish of the river:
We are the new generation.
We are building new bridges,
The world is our nation.
We are building new stages,
While fighting and defeating the old aristocracy.
This is indeed our century:
We are the new generation.

I love the poem. I know that every poems some connotative and denotative words and this one is not exactly in the dictionary meaning. So, I'm just curious, who or what is the thing/group/person described here because this poem is eye catching and it caught my attention.

Sand piles through history are built and washed away. Though there is always a new one being buit. - JUST LIFE
