A New Dawn
A poem by J. Jammy May
Arise children of the new generation
Step forward warriors of the next era
For this was forced upon you at creation
Because their life as-is is a chimera.
Let that fear age like wine into strength and power
Into determination deep in your bones
You know pain too well; a friend of old hours
That is why you don't shake at the hurtled stones.
The old stopped caring what happens to this world
They bring forth the end of their time onto us
But you care; you will see this come unfurled
You will see the new coming and teach thus:
Let there be no more libraries burned to ash
No more innocents in the dark mistreated
No more silent screams over emotions rash
Let history not again be repeated.
Arise children of the new generation
Step forward warriors, healers and leaders
Stay holding tight to your imagination
You will not fall to become simple beaters.
In this day and age, and the one becoming
You will do more than simply stand by and cheer
For you are not the force that is still coming
You are the unyielding might already here.
