Lost Generation
I realize this may be a shock, but
“Happiness comes from within”
Is a lie, and
“Money will make me happy.”
So in thirty years, I will tell my children
They are not the most important thing in my life.
My employer will know that
I have my priorities straight because
Work
is more important than
Family.
I tell you this
Once Upon a Time
Families stayed together.
But this will not be true in my era.
This is a quick fix society.
Experts tell me
Thirty years from now, I will be celebrating my tenth anniversary of my divorce.
I do not concede that
I will live in a country of my own making.
In the future
Environmental destruction will be the norm.
No longer can it be said that
My peers and I care about this Earth.
It will be evident that
My generation is apathetic and lethargic.
It is foolish to presume that
There is Hope.
And all of this will come true…
Unless we choose to reverse it. (Read from the last line up.)
There is Hope.
It is foolish to presume that
My generation is apathetic and lethargic.
It will be evident that
My peers and I care about this Earth.
No longer can it be said that
