Children of 1980
These are the children that have no choice but to be born into war and to have nothing but war in their futures.
These are the children that have lost parents and siblings and friends to injustice and oppression.
These are the children of courage and hopelessness, of joy and sorrow.
These are the children whose parents dreamed of peace and freedom and of a world where they could be safe.
These are the children who will grow up in the shadow of the past, ready to collide head on with the storms of the future.
These are the children who will make friends and laugh and grow and live.
These are the children who know what pain is.
These are the children who know what betrayal is.
These are the children who know what loyalty is.
These are the children that know what love is.
These are the children who will sacrifice all and demand nothing in return.
These are the children who will fight together and fight each other.
These are the children that will burn out fast and bright in an exploding supernova of green light.
These are the children of 1980 and they have their destinies carved in stone.
Short and along the same sort of lines as grown-ups. Now that the summer is here I should be writing a lot more so look out for it :) Please review!
