Youths With A Difference Poem
We are the youths with a difference,
Living for a mission,
Changing and inspiring lives is our purpose,
We are not the future leaders of our great nation,
We are the today leaders.
We are the youths with a difference,
Living in the world but we are for the world.
Abstaining from temptations no matter what people say. Though we are walking in the value death we fear no because we are youths with a difference.
We are the youths with a difference,
Living in the world but we are for the world.
Abstaining from temptations no matter what people say. Though we are walking in the value death we fear no because we are youths with a difference.
We are the youths with the difference,
We are the Divine African Generation,
Dedicated to serve our almighty,
Never getting tired in working for our lord.
As bringing people to Christ is our business.
Analysis and Review of the poem by Okoro Amarachi Anastasia
A powerful poem written by Preston Mwiinga that speak about youths with the difference. Make a distinction that there are youth who positively world changer. According the speaker, her bring the class or category of youth with difference (their differences in seen in their willingness to bring positive social, political, religious in their nation). The poem is written in a narrative form, it has five stanza but in our review, we will analyzing four stanzas. The tone of the poem advocate for the youth. There is no rhymes scheme. There use of enjambment and the language of the poem is direct and simple.
In a broad sense, the speaker is simply presented an optimistic view of the youth who wants to create a better world. I love the part where the speaker said in stanza one “We are not the future leaders of our great nation, We are the today leaders.”. That point shows that we youths own the world presently, changing the idea of leaders of tomorrow to leaders of today.
The poet also presented youths that are morally sound and perfect. Youths who are capable of leading and are spiritual strong and equipped.
Looking at the poem, some of the poetic devices used in the poem are Repetition (repetition of phrase like “youth”, “we are”, “leaders”, “difference”, etc.), metaphor (seen in the last stanza “Divine African Generation”), alliteration (”Living in the world but we are for the world”).
