Lost Generation

LOST GENERATION
--- by Jonathan Reed

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

*  This is one of the Insights that MooMoo like to share with all...  In case, you're wondering if this is a song... it is not.  It's a poem, wonderfully written by Jonathan Reed for a competition and he actually won 2nd place with this piece and MooMoo find this poem really very interesting.  First, please read this POEM and let MooMoo know how you feel... Then, please read the POEM in a reverse format, which is from bottom to top and let MooMoo know how you feel.  Don't you think it's cool?!?  Things can be viewed so differently and be interpreted differently when it's done differently.  It's Amazing when you can look beyond what you actually see, hear, think or feel... ^=^
