Lost Generation by Jonathan Reed



I realize this maybe a shock but

"Happiness comes from within"

is a lie, and

''Money will make me happy"

So in 30 years i wil 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

Family 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 the norm

No longer can it be said that

My peer 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 it backward...)


in the end of the phrase it will read as 'I realize this maybe a shock but I can change the world and I refuse to believe that I'm part of the lost generation'

brilliant isn't it?
