“Tears are honesty Interdependence is strength Communication is bravery So boys love your brothers And fathers love your sons I’ve said it before: We’ve just begun”

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.

[unequivocally-unexceptional]

This is honestly one of the most beautiful pieces of poetry that I have come across.

[veriginous]

Going through all my documents. Finally found my forwards and backwards poem from the 9th grade inspired by The Lost Generation by Jonathan Reed. Still quite proud of it.
