You speak for the lakes, the trees and the birds <br />You say what they'd say if they had the words. <br />Make PEACE and be proud, choose well every choice <br />Speak HOPE and speak loud, you are Nature's voice. <br />Speak with respect now, for jungles and streams, <br />Speak for all wildlife and dream giant dreams. <br />Speak with great courage, speak up and speak out, <br />Write with a whisper or write with a SHOUT! <br />Stand up young poets for clean air and rivers, <br />Free verse or lyric; your message delivers... <br />Truth to the future citizens of earth, <br />Speak of your freedom your friends and self worth. <br />Speak for tomorrow and though you're still young, <br />Speak for the Forest, your pen is her tongue. <br />The world waits to hear your songs still unsung <br />Words posses power, you can write the wrongs <br />Teach us and lead us with Poems and with songs. <br />Speak now for nature, for trees and for birds, <br />Defenders of Earth choose carefullly your words!<br /><br />ToddMichael St. Pierre<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/young-poets-3/
