In the quiet
Of the night
I gather my thoughts
I reflect on my day
What I have seen
What I have done
I reflect on the days news
Icy roads
And corrupted views
The same old same old
That was old years ago
I sit here
Yearning
For something new
A sense of peace
I have yet to see
Something
Anything
To renew my faith
In humanity
And then I see
That one story
That changes
My whole way
Of thinking
The younger
Generation
Standing up
And doing what's right
It does happen
And it makes me sick
That we just write
This generation off
When even they
Are capable
Of amazing things
We just have to
Be willing to
See it
