Invincible Youth

September 18, 2020September 18, 2020

The invincible youth

The early departed

The unslain

The martyred

The invincible youth

They more than matter

More than RIP shirts

Campaign slogans

You must say their name

The taken

The caged

The invincible youth

Do not oppress them

Do not test them

Your bullets they rage

Tatoo lil bodies

Do not undress them

They are not yours

Hands off

They should not walk

With their hands up

Let them be free

Let them have fun

Let them learn

Let them love

Invincible youth

Forever young

May grow

To be united

Without guilt

Or death sentence

Innocent

The invincible youth

They deserve life

Liberty

More than happiness

A pursuit of invincible

Dreams
