yes we can

Tavia Kenton

From the time we have all been a kid, most of us has always heard “you can do anything you set your mind to.”
If that’s the case, why do most people depend on others even the government for support then later still complains?
If we can do anything we set our mind to why is so many people living without a job?
Our ancestors, no matter what race you belong to, had fought for us just so we can have a better life.
Why do so many people make race a major issue? Is it?
Aren’t we all ‘equal’?
Aren’t we all people?
Black/ White/ Rich/ Poor/ Female/ Male
Does it really matter?
Shouldn’t what really matter is the type of person you are on the inside?
Giving up/ dropping out of school
Why leave the one major thing that will get you somewhere in life?
Turning to drugs/ the streets
Is that really the right way to go?

Bullying in school
Letting your peers down
Are you serious?!
Why not stand up for each other?
Why not stick together?
R.I.P Maria
A young soul that is now gone
All because of cruel intensions.
What will her mom do know?
Her only child gone forever all because of what?
Of her peers who are suppose to be the world new generation?
What will become of future years to come?
Will this negative trend continue?

I say YES WE CAN
As individuals yes we can come together and make this place a better place.
Yes we can
Do whatever it is we set our mind to.
Yes we can make something meaningful of each of our life.
Yes we can live above the influence.
Yes we can
Live as one.
Yes we can
Yes we can
Yes we can become leaders of tomorrow.
