Explanation:

Wings

We were born in flight, in motion  

in front of screens and devices  

meant to make life easier, faster.  

We were born with wings that carry  

information, that connect us to our  

friends and leaders. We have a conscience  

but we must make quick decisions or we  

feel we may never catch up  

to all that’s happening.  

We feel connected to history, but our wings  

won’t let us live in it. We’ve learned a lot  

from our parents’ generation, and now we carry  

those lessons forward in flight.  

We know that the time to make a change  

is always in the present and we pay  

attention to the news as people fight  

for freedom and equality.  

We want positive change and we’re willing  

to work for it. All of us have wings  

in our pockets and palms, and we use them  

to find out what’s happening next door  

or around the world.  

We are a flock of young and brilliant minds.

the present continuous is a verb tense which is mainly used to indicates that an action is in progress at the moment of speaking.  

it is formed using: person + verb to be (am/is/are) +verb + - ing form  

example: i am studying at this moment .

in addition, the present continuous is also used in order to express things that will or will not happen in the near future.

example: i am having dinner with some friends tonight.

the speaker sometimes   uses it   to express that an action is repeated and it causes irritation on the part of the speaker

example: my sister is constantly complaining about everything.
