The World I Own
Corruption Running Rampant
Smoke billows though air
People running, homes burning
The world shakes despair
Children laughing, minds pure
Untouched hearts, burn the fuel
Sheltered protected world unknown
Face the terror, hearts torn
Parents, elders, shield child
Growing up, no idea of outside
They see the horror, mind misconstrue,
This is our world, what did they do
Flash, and Arrow fight for the people
Superman and Batman conqueror of evil
Yet here we are, helpless and distraught
Where are our idols
The world is in shock
The answer to their problems is right in front
The children of the world who’s souls have been cut
They are the future, who will heal us all
Take the world back, from the forces afar
Stand together, the future of us
Solve the world’s plight, for we must
Syrian refuges running from their homes,
The people of Saudi Arabia terrorized and alone
The US government corruption contains
People in Africa poor, dying in the rain
These problems haunt us, and the children fear
Yet they stand strong, for will adhere
They are scared and angry, for the world has been kept
But they will solve the problems
To appease the world from its debt
They know the people are angry
Suffering, weak
Yet the children know
They will take back their world for all to peak
This is my world
I will guard it true
The world I will inherit
I will thrive until I do
The world has been broken, from the evil in our earth
Yet the children will stand together
To protect the world of their birth
We are the future,
Leaders not cadets
These our are minds listen not forget
We are the warriors who will fight for you
You nurtured us now, our time is anew
We will guard the world given to us
And fight for the world torn up in dust
We dream of the world where problems are few
Where the hero’s are real and not in a book
We are our idols, and protectors of all
We will fight for the world
We will stand tall
Yet we are not weak, we are not small
We are the children, the future of all!
