The Youth

Slam Poetry

The World? A Structured Place-Constructed like a Pyramid?. Built on Values-Morals-Beliefs?Placing People either Above or Beneath?Dictating Their Place-Judging Their Race-Determining Their Pace?Setting Them on A Course Casting, Individuality Aside-An Indication, to The Classification Notarizing The Caste-The Class?Within which They Reside.



Society? It?s Structure-The Architectural Design-The Structured Continuity-The Monotony of it All?Pillars of Laws?Government?of Societal Normality?Fitting in with The Majority, Forgoing Individuality?Fitting Mold of what is you, the Mold that they Hold and you can not make- rather that you must fake in order to be a piece to their puzzle, for which you must wear their muzzle in order to talk and walk and sing and dance, in order to live?



Society? Unforgiving of Naive Ignorance?A Biased Collage of Images Imprinting Negative Nonsense?The Root of Many Evils?The Most Horrid Being The Veil of Ignorant Misconception Placed Upon Your Brow?



I am Here to Say? I feel that you have been misinformed?I am here to clue you in?To shed light on your unyielding biases against myself and my peers?To Correct your Incorrectness. To Reverse your Curse to Live in Ignorance And Show you The Youth as We Really Are?Those whom you have written off?I am here to tell you that you are wrong?



You? Sit there in Your Home, Your Peaceful Piece of Heaven Surrounded by Suburbia?Listening to Them?Where does it end- the bad, the negative-The movie showing the horrors of life?



It?s Nothing New? Rather this is not news rather these are tools to narrow your views so that you fit the plan set by the man for all the drones, the foundation of society?s clones to take over?making minds sober of the reality that that co-exists with the bullshit that they show you? The alternate ending, the good things the positive stuff we do, you have no clue because you are blind to the things that also go on? out of fear that you sit in naive ignorance rather than absolute knowledge about who we really are?



Well I am Here as the Breaker of Lies and The Teller of Truths? Here to shed light and accept the vindictive fight which you have made mine be believing the bullshit they say which you fail to realize just may, may not be true?I am the youth, a written off race who will not be put in their place here to show you the true traits of our nature?



I Am The Youth? Forget the news, which you watch without a clue failing to realize just who you are actually dealing with?



I Feel that You Are Misinformed? I feel your are misinformed see?You watch TV with your kids upstairs talking to each other about how they don?t care? you sit and watch seeing only the bad, the worse and the worst because you accept as they ignore the good?



You Watch And Only See The Bad, The Worse, & The Worst? You never the good, the better and the best?You never see the leaders or the big brother and sisters, the team captains and straight-a-students, the soup kitchens or the nursing homes, the class presidents and students of the month, the flawless drivers who don?t drink or the sobriety advocates, or the drug free zones or neighborhood cleanups?All, which we are a part of?



So what do you know? Cleary You don?t know us? How can you know you know us when you never see- making judgments when you are never shown and when you turn your head knowing that your mind may just be blown?



Well I am just that? Your blown mind, one of a kind, an exception to the rule, an individual not a fool?For I don?t break the mold I just set my own- one based on what you have been shown-Shown by me.



In Case You Didn?t Know? There are others too, but you thought you knew- so you never looked- you didn?t see, didn?t see me, didn?t see me coming, coming at right at you, coming at the throat of your ignorant biases- coming at that throat congested with society?s flem? no you didn?t see me and you didn?t see them?



We Are The Youth? The real youth, the real truth, not that which society, shows, not fitting the ways your judgments go?No we are the youth, we are not criminals or deviants, hoodlums or punks- no we are the future, your future?We are the youth- your sons and daughters and you should fear us?



We Are The Youth? Strong and independent, smart and good?We are here to show you that we are the near future, that we have a voice and that the time for it to be heard grows ever closer?



So Go On And Think What You Will? Listen to the stories, watch the news and think what you will, but know still, still that we are here and that our time is near- whether you like it or not?So view us as thugs and punks- call us trouble and good for nothing?Sit downstairs with your kids out of sight, hold them tight, control them with your might enforce it through spite?But it doesn?t matter- our time nears and then you will hear- hear what we have to say- see what we have to show understand what we have to offer?And the time will come for you to decide, decide whether you are with us or against us- but you will know the truth, the truth that is truly us, the truth that is positive and intelligent, the truth that has never before been shown- because I am the one who is going to show it to you?



We Are The Youth? Society doesn?t control us?We think for ourselves?We are strong, smart, and capable?We are ready?Ready to make some changes?Ready to shed light on some of the positive?Ready to shed light on what is to come?Ready to ignore the bias and naive ignorance that you hold towards us?Ready to break the molds that you blindly fit, disobey the rules that you blindly follow, and say the things that you dare not say?



We are ready to redefine society and make it better?

We are going to make it fit, and there isn?t jack Shit you can do about it?



Finally, For the First Time? Your Vision will be clear of ignorance and bias, & will be able to use your eyes and see a new vision, one of truth, one that is accurate? Finally- You Will Hear Us & be Willing to listen; You will Understand us & Realize what we have to offer; You will Stand with us against the Society?s Clones, becoming our ally against the drones? At Last we will stand together and fight- We will be united and we will lead; lead using our voice- a voice that we will share and that will echo throughout as one unified sound? For the first time we will converse and not fight- we will not spite, but will stand contrite; continuing to push on until the day that ignorance is gone?



So Let Me Tell You Again? I am The Youth- what?s next, what?s to come! I am The Youth- Ignoring your Biases, Breaking your Molds, Disobeying your Rules, and Saying Everything you Dare Not! I am The Youth- Proud, Strong, and Independent; Intelligent, Insightful, and Capable; Uncontrollable and Unique? I am The Youth and I am Your Future! I am The Youth- so you can either HEAR ME, or you can Fucking FEAR ME!
