Today, my fellow youths, is a new day – fresh and brimming
with boundless possibility. But today, like most days, we
waste.
The world is evolving, it is changing never constant but we sit
in silence and watch never letting ourselves seeking to
change it.
We cry of injustice, but our silence is complacency; All we do
is dream of a better tomorrow but deny ourselves the
vibrance to create the change today for a better tomorrow.
Be the change you wish to see, we are much stronger than
we think we are.
We do not realise the heavy burden we carry, the weight of
the world rests on our shoulders, the present determines
not only pur future but the past too.
The power of youth is the common wealth for the entire
world. Our faces of are the faces of the past, the present and
the future.
Let us be bold and mature, never fearing to make mistakes.
The simple saying says we learn from mistakes, your
inexperience will inevitably close many doors for you, but it
is that same inexperience that will allow you to discover
pathways that are still virgin to the common traveler’s
footsteps.
We have relied on our father's and mother's shoulders for
too long, their wisdom anchors us but it's time we lift the
weight off their quivering shoulders.
Be the change; drop by drop filled the ocean, step by step
took you home.
We are young but full of life and a passage light guides us if
we only open our eyes wider:
We know more than we realize.
We have good ideas.
We can help make a better future.
We just have to use our voices.
The youth is the hope of our future.
No segment in the society can match with the power,
idealism, enthusiasm and courage of the young people.
Today I say to my youths let's be the change we wish to see.
