To My Fellow Teenagers Poem by Mac Adrone Adonay

To My Fellow Teenagers



Let your mind explore to the present days
Feel the touch of poverty
Hear the cries of agony
People now live in narrow, cruel ways
We protest, murmur, and complain
Bitterness is on economy's face
And we take the sharp bites of pain

O, yes there's progress in technology
But look on our dead culture
Give eyes to the lonely poor
See what happened to our morality
Listen to the daily tidings
And receive the strong blasts of tyranny
That were filled with crimes and killings

People, are we blind, are we don't have eyes?
When we shall begin to fight,
When we shall do what is right,
When? when? when? if the bright sun stop to rise?
Now is the best time my dear friend,
It is the time to work and claim the prize
Let's make the unfair justice end!

Clattering guns and rallies everywhere
Corruption conquered the lands
O, why there are greedy hands
That do nothing but to give a despair?
Why the false government doesn't flee,
The wings of boastful men soar on air
And they wander happy and free

Teenagers, do we want to let them reign?
We're the hope of our country,
The children of peace are we!
Warriors of truth, marching on fiery lane
For unity, we shall stand strong
Here we are to shatter the evil's stain
Let us break the graft all along!

See the hands and claws of atrocity
Squeezing the throat of al men
Dragging them to the false ken
What a doomsday and famine that will be
They will build a mighty empire
To wound the moaning heart of our country
Who whispers with the songs of lyre

Teenagers, we're the hope of the nation
And we all know what's our part
That is make the battles start!
It's the time to wake up from oblivion
Hear me, children of all ages
Let the dreams of peace go to explosion
In our land, let us bring changes!

If we are going to fight, why not now?
Do we want to make them rule,
Driving us to be a fool?
If that time comes, how can we win, O how-
By obeying their evil laws,
By giving praises and taking a bow,
Making our hopeless hands applause?
