About what has already been done
people fighting
for what they believe
is right
hoping to make a difference
to change our future
to lead us in the right way
Our country
being put in the hands
of the evil
Our youth will fight
until there is no more hope
because we are
the future of this country
we shall start
deciding where we want to go
and what our future will be

I like the poem! I think the youth needs to get more educated before we can make any definite decisions on anything, and that starts with each individual student. We need to learn about issues so we can address them, not just complain about them. Your poem has a very inspiring flow to it. I think that even one more stanza would have made it really sink in.
Johanna, beautiful poem. The lack of punctuation makes the poem flow very nicely and really adds to the meaning that our country will go on, thanks to the youth of our great nation. However, what many people have failed to see lately is that we truly are a great nation. During the election, everyone seemed to lose their faith and pride in America, and after the results, people wanted to leave the country because they thought it would be doomed. People need to remember how great the U.S.A. is and know that nothing can change that.
You are totally right! All throughout school the day after election I heard how our world and future is doomed. Yet what our generation is still ignorant about is that our future of our country is dependent on us not our current president. It is our adversity that will make us successful and such a great generation unlike the type if generation we have claimed to be.
