Our Generation

We want to change the world.
Not because everyone wants to.
But because it must be done.

We want to change the world.
Not because it’s the cool thing to say.
But because innocent people die everyday.

We want to change the world.
Not for the sake of heroism.
But for the sake of others.

We will stand up when everyone is sitting.
We will continue when people stop.
We will lead where others will not.

We are young.
We are ambitious.
We are no longer country club kids.
We are no longer confined to a typical 9-5 job.
We are no longer held captive by materialism.
We are a powerful generation.

We are willing to be poor.
So others may be rich.
We are willing to die.
So others may live.
We are willing to go.
So others may continue after.

We will start what no one else dares.
This is no longer a dream.
This is no longer a distant fantasy.
This is here.
This is now.
This is it.
A revolution.
Waiting
Not for one.
Not for two.
Not for 100.
But for a generation.

OUR generation.
