Echoes of Tomorrow By Jared Chimezie

In whispers of truth, shadows unfurl
Innocence drifts, drenched in the world
Eyes witness yet ignore the pleas
Ears listen, yet deny the skies' pleas

Words of truth in fleeting breaths
Freedom buried, claimed by death
Dreaming of liberty, branded a foe
Destroying their future, applauded as a show

Elders mourn, hearts growing cold
Where is the youth, brave and bold?
Homeland's strength fades with a sigh
Tomorrow shatters, a broken lie

Leaders hopeful, but never to soar
Hands clenched tight as youth's voices roar
Death's cruel grasp, brutal and pure
Police fire, justice stained, no cure

Politicians play, discard without a thought
Youth used, cast aside, battles fought
When will they rise, with courage in hand?
In trembling legs and sight, where will they stand?
