The Coolest Poem Ever

I am part of a lost generation and I refuse to believe that I can change the world I realize this may be a shock but “Happiness comes from within.” is a lie, and “Money will make me happy.” So in 30 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 30 years from now, I will be celebrating the 10th 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 the message, then read it again in reverse.

Which generation do you belong in?

The Lost Generation: I am part of a lost generation. And I refuse to believe that I can change the world. 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 the 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 reverse it. (read back up)

The Lost Generation, by Jonathan Reed

I am part of a lost generation. And I refuse to believe that I can change the world. 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 the 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 reverse it.*

*This poem is a ‘Semordnilap’ (a reverse palindrome); read it, then re-read the lines in reverse. The alternate, backwards poem results in a paradigm shift, conveying a very different message than the original. What seems to be a pessimistic, somber poem about social degeneration, in retrospect becomes an inspirational and hopeful vision for the future of our generation. Written in 2007 by Colombia College graduate student Jonathan Reed for the AARP’s “U@50” contest (and won 2nd place). See it on YouTube.

Lost Generation.

I’m a part of Lost Generation

and I refuse to believe that

I can change the world

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’ll tell my children

They are not the most important thing in my life

My employer will know that

I have my priority straight because

Work

Is more important than

Family

I tell you this

Once upon a time

Families stay 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 the 10th 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 reverse it.

Once upon a time Family's stayed together But this is not true in my era This is a quick fix society Experts tell me 30 Years from now on I will be celebrating my 10th anniversary of my divorce. I do not concede that I will live in a country of my own making. In the future, Environmental destruction is the norm. No longer can it be said that My peers and I care about this earth.
