Ingrids Auswahl - Ingrids Poetry (185)

 


                                                                   In disarray



Turn on the News

Watch our youth

 Around the world in disarray

Never much reasons to think beyond self

All they needed and wanted

Always there on the shelf

Never known a reason to give

Never a reason for which to live

They shout, complain we hear them say

We don’t want these rules

That take our choices,

 Our freedom away

Where have we failed them, 

Where did things go wrong

Where the joy of being young?

 Their spirits cry’s out “We need a reason to live”

Reasons to fight for, reasons to give

To feel wanted, needed, to do a good deed

So, they join the milling crowds in the street.

Our voice must be heart, we will not be defeated

Even thou we know at times we are greeted

By angry Police, see, in black they are dressed

To calm the crowds, to settle unrest

Our numbers grow larger with each passing day

Politicians please hear to what we say

We are fighting for justice for people oppressed

For all underdogs from the east to the west

Equality for all men they cry,

It is time for injustice to pass us by.

See: They have found a reason,

A place where to meet

With their friends and neighbours

Around the world in many a street.
