If I Am Living Amongst My Final Days

If these are verily my last days,
Then I have not made it to you,
But my word has done it in various ways;
So take heed of what this word shall do;
For, one cannot entice the unwilling
By any means or degree of change;
Yet, one is capable of being appealing
Instead of seeming so estrange.

First and foremost,
I'd like to take the time alone
To address issues so opposed
Like the respect of children is gone;
I would love to tell every and each
Individually special girl and lad
That I cannot say enough in a speech
How violence can be intensely bad.

Children, you've proven to be of a better age;
With time, you shall become the only ones
Who lead our legacy to the next page;
Do not settle for less by grabbing the guns;
Do not belittle yourself in carrying knives,
Because you hold the key to a portal
In which tradition redeems our live;
Take this chance to become immortal
And the decision that shall save you,
My contemporaries, our ancestors and I
Where we capture dreams we had to pursue;
Then, succeed to the naked blue sky.

My dear and naive youth,
Can you not see that you have a choice?
You can kill and live lifetime of obstinate ruth
Or you can confer with sophisticated voice;
You have the alternative to chose;
When your alternative have been chosen,
Only you make this battle a victory or lose;
Take time to think before your fist has closed in;
Violence is certainly not the way;
Survival begins your heart and soul,
Not in the gangs that you founded yesterday;
Ask yourself what is your goal;
Children open your eyes we as humans
Are a species that is in danger
Of going to absolute and clear ruins,
Because one person had hate and anger.

If these days are in my last,
Then please children take my word
And make it come to past
From you have either read or heard;
Know that no is the resolution
To a gun, knife, blade, punch or kick;
Take a kind discourse for your revolution;
With that, you can tell your offspring the trick
That I told you a better Earth
And a better place in where you should be;
For all the mirth,
See the world for what it could be.

Violence stops as of now...
Take the previous steps...
To discover just how...
Every word really helps...
