the future awaits...

Teens today don't realize something..
WE ARE THE FUTURE.
These ideas that we are learning now in school and formulating when we have intense conversations
with our other friends
will shape the IDEAS that we will LIVE BY
in a year or two.
how FrIGhtEnInG!
I'M NOT READY
and i can't think of a single person whom i would deem ready for such major responsibilities..
I can think of people who I know are capable
but the maturity isn't there
c'est la vie!
but the thing is, no matter if we're not ready now, there will come a time when we are ready
or maybe not
but we have to rise to the responsibilities, the duties we are called to.

here is a poem I wrote:

The Future

We will be the doctors,
the surgeons who may save your life
We will be the mothers and fathers,
the  loving husbands and wives
We will be the teachers,
who help all children learn
We will be the principals,
hopefully not too stern.
We will be the lawyers,
who fight valiantly for your case.
We will be the athletes,
entertaining you with our game and race
We will be singers,
the actresses and musicians
We will be the activists,
champions of a cause,
spreading love through our many missions.
We will be the soldiers,
the ones fighting for your rights.
We will be the policemen,
the firemen,
 those protecting you through the night.
We will be your priests,
guiding and counseling you through all

We will be who you you turn to in need
we're your future, it's guaranteed.
