We the People

We the People
Ourselves
Are the world’s destruction
Spreading like a fire
Spreading like disease

We the People
Ourselves
Are the world’s confusion
Distorting our own morals
Distorting others beliefs

We the People
Ourselves
Are the world’s reminder
Of what it was before
Of what it’s going to be

We the People
Ourselves
Are the world’s hope
To learn from the past
To learn for the future

But We the People
Ourselves
Are the world’s soldiers
Fighting for our lives
Fighting for our freedoms

And We the People
Ourselves
Will fight for our freedoms
Until the dust settles
Until the sun sets one last time


*Another poem I wrote a few years ago for school, but has been reviewed and edited many times to get it to this draft--I hope you enjoy!
