Lost Generation Poem by Jonathan Reed(True Story)
I am a part of a lost generation and I have believe I may not change the world.
I realize this may come as 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.
I will tell my employers
I have my priorities straight because
Work
Is more important than
Family.
I'll tell you this...
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.
It will be evident that
My generation is apathetic and lethargic.
It is foolish to presume
There is hope.
And all of this will come true unless we choose to reverse it(Read it backwards for a happy ending.)

Interesting... I like it. It gets me to thinking... yes, hat could come true if we let it.
