I have memorized every time
Remembered every word
Going crazy from the speech
But now it's time to take the world
Share the same blood
Spread the same protest
Follow them all
To the forest of truth
The fog will build
But our eyes are open
And we can see through it
Till we reach the final point
Work for the system
You know the storm is coming
Pushing through the darkness
With a guiding light
Start the fire by one spark
In the last hour
As we take down the cowards
While we are laughed at
But while we fight the others
We forget about our own lives
The flag is gone
And replaced by the end
Fight and stomp
Shout and yell
Pump your fist to the air
And let them see the waves
The future is now
And we are here
But our generation is falling
It's time to be heard
Break through the doors
Storm through the halls
Show these cowards how to act
Stop the drama and the plays
No more lies through the media
Time to show the truth
Brainwashing speeches are over
Juggle the vote and we will attack
All these followers
Made to kiss your ass
For a bit of green
And the greed fills their eyes
They say it's all over
That the end has come
And they say sorry, but
Fuck it, we understand
We raise more Hell
Until they proceed
We'll steer them to the light
Charging and pushing
Don't allow these dignitary's
To take control
Use my speech and answer
Why is there so much blood for the oil?
But my words mean nothing
Censored and called fake
I was sniped in the end
And my story was ended
Still the storm was started
And now a new generation takes effect
Even if you silence my voice
They still remember every word!

This is SUPER!
Write on!
I hope you have a garden and know how to survive. I believe we just may see a semi collapse of the world as we know it...sooner than later.
*PEACE*

this is a wicked poem...i loved the flow that it held....very awesome
-
It's a really strong poem, but it could certainly use some punctuation.

Indeed, but I usually don't use punctuation in a poem like this..I like to make the reader keeping reading without a break. Kinda shows the ugenty of its message.

very strong piece, but you did not read the directions
-
this is both strong and deep in its flow and meaning, i wish i could say more but i am not that bright of a man, keep it flowing and good luck in the contest, but in all honesty i don't think you will need it.

strong message here...well done
-
Cool, this was really gripping, and full of power. I can hear the anger in the poem without a single exclamation point. Also good point made in the last two lines.

This is just amazing. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! your choice of words are outstanding. This is so powerful that it packs a punch. Your anger wxplodws right of the page, telling us to stand up and be heard.
"Fight and stomp
Shout and yell
Pump your fist to the air
And let them see the waves
The future is now
And we are here
But our generation is falling
It's time to be heard"
Perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it. Thanks for the read and keep on writing -
wow, this was amazing! I could feel the anger pulsing through you as you wrote it almost. it's just amazing! wow. "Fight and stomp
Shout and yell
Pump your fist to the air
And let them see the waves
The future is now
And we are here
But our generation is falling
It's time to be heard"
those two stanzas really stood out to me! Pump your fists in the air and fight! (I know that's not really what you said, but still... I had to put that in there... haha) again, great work! keep it up! and good luck in the contest!

Thoughtful
This piece made me think. The tone and pace seemed quick and powerful. It works for this piece. As I read, I could not tell where the poem was leading me. When I was finished I had to stop and think about it, only to leave satisfied. Great poem.
