Betrayed and backstabbed <br />By our African brothers. <br />Insulted, humiliated and robbed <br />By Our European brothers. <br />We are the descendants <br />Of defeated Kings and Queens. <br />We are the infants <br />Of two distressed twins. <br />Sold like cattles, <br />Winners of many battles: <br />We are the new generation, <br />We are the fine products <br />Of a new creation. <br />We walk proud like ducks <br />Of the newly man-made lakes, <br />We helped and we chased away the fakes: <br />We are the dreams of our forefathers. <br />We are, at last, speaking in unison, <br />Like cousins, like brothers and sisters; <br />Every day, we are forging new union. <br />We are stronger than ever, <br />We are smarter than the dead fish of the river: <br />We are the new generation. <br />We are building new bridges, <br />The world is our nation. <br />We are building new stages, <br />While fighting and defeating the old aristocracy. <br />This is indeed our century: <br />We are the new generation.<br /><br />Hebert Logerie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-new-generation-2/
