This poet handles an emotive topic with love and biblical allusion, in these heartfelt verses reminding us that anything we do, has a great and lasting impact on the youth.

Ravaged lives filled with despair
Give them hope to lift them up
In times too rough to bear.

We gyrate in insane dances like rhythm unplugged
