Poetry Contest for Chieti "Growing Up" by Mariona Costa

GROWING UP

All the World

is standing up,

crowds of people

are getting up.

But it isn’t enough

we have a difficult fight,

but one day,

we will win that.

Our prize won’t be

money, fame or gold,

our prize will be

peace, safety and hope.

It’s difficult to describe,

this is what we want

one world without crime

without any wars.

  

You have two options,

hide or fight.

It’s easy,

you only have to decide.

My best option

is fight

and because of this

I’m writing these words.

Now I hope

you feel the same.

If we are united,

we can win this game.
