Within Us
We have the words to change the nation
Voice that will bring to life a whole new creation
Within us are our ideas, thoughts and feelings there lies in its own station
Yet we abuse it
We focus on material things, Brand sneakers, clothes, and everything we consider “lit”
Not noticing on the many gifts and talent we have, oblivious to our self, on its goodness we sit
This generation saddens me
No moral values, respect, nor dignity, what was taught to us many years ago not gone,
but hidden can’t you see
So much potential we have in ourselves
So much books on the floor, yet we fail to fill them in their shelves
Potential without a drive, is blank, it’s not an addition, nor subtraction
But a division of our true selves, we must look within us and seek to find where exactly it dwells
People, within ourselves is the only way we are guaranteed to excel
We have the words to change the nation
A voice that will bring life to a whole new creation
Hands that will help each other through life’s own tribulation
Together, we can create a population that will forever hold our reputation
However, there is a but
It all starts within us.
