The Words

By Jenna Wise

 

Born in this world as it all falls apart….

We wave a flag of hatred.

But you were the ones that made it.

 

I hear all the hate in your words…

All the words that make us hurt.

We walk among these streets…these fields of battle.

 

But you’ve taken all we are…

The innocence of our hearts…

The memories have left you and me.

 

Words will be just words…

Until you bring them to life….

And these words have created soldiers.

 

Monsters of our nightmares….

Where are the children of the world….

We may be young but these words brand us.

 

People wonder what is so wrong with this generation…..

But have people ever stopped to think…

Who raised us on these words of hatred?

 

We are young…

We are impressionable…

We have been raised in hatred.

I would say hope you like it but I really don't care if you do...because I love all my poems...is it one of my better ones? Uh, probably not.
