We, The Children Of This World

By Madhavi Chintakunta

We, the Children of this world

we, the hope of this Universe

we, the fireflies that brighten the darkness

we, the future of Human kind

We, came through you, not from you

We, belong to life, not to you

we, are born free, and free we shall be

we, will not dream your dreams nor ride the same lanes as ye

Do not covet us selfishly, to beget us by means abhorred

Do not coop us, we are all one not to be divided by your mores

Do not leash us, we are the future, cannot be bind by ropes of time past

Do not silence us, we ask questions of the world, that are yet unanswered

Pass on the baton, you know not to run with the world

You’ve laid our home to waste with selfishness, ego and greed

Love, Friendship and sharing you forgot to teach

We, the Children of this world wish to live in Harmony and peace…
