At the hands of shaking youth.
Prestigious young truth.
Mountains moved, Tides withdrew, and Nature flew.
We are the crawling blind.
The places of our travels undefined.
We are the face of a new generation to come.
We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, it's to create something that will.

Oh my god! That is THE coolest thing I've seen on this site before. I'm exaggerating, but still, the fact that you actually recorded yourself reciting this poem and then attached it to your post is so cool! Keep this up and you're going to get some attention on this site. :)

So first I'll start by saying that you read the poem nicely, and the background music, while slightly overbearing, complemented it well.

The poem itself is great. It's concise and to the point, packing a punch with every line. I do, however, feel that if you made it longer you could really do it more justice, because it feels like a lot goes unsaid. Your tone is empowering and the rhythm has a certain triumph to it that I like. Looking forward to great things to come from you. Welcome to YWS.

Thanks a lot Ink that really means a lot to me!:D
I'm glad you liked the link cause I didn't really know how people would respond, let a lone actually click it.
I will be doing a few more of these soon, it just takes a little more time and effort, but your encouragement makes me want to do it all the more.
And yes this is a very short poem, I might add on to it a bit more in the future!

Hello,
I think the youtube link was more than neat; it was necessary. This poem needs to be spoken out loud; on paper it just isn't as relevant. This is kind of off-topic but the other poem on your youtube channel, is that posted on somewhere? Because that one was really magnificent.
But this poem was beautiful as well- vivid, concise, and not overstated. It nice to read poetry that just is, and doesn't strive to be big or grand, if that makes any sense.
This is some serious talent that you have, I agree with the person above that you should get a lot of recognition for your poetry. You remind me of another poet I loved on this site but whose username I can't remember, but they wrote a poem about this song, or more specifically this performance of this song, out in the field.

anyways, great job and I can't wait to see more of your poems.
