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 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.
Yes I know that is read both ways

Sorry. I've been snippy all week.
And I've been tired and grumpy all week. But this made me happy for now :D
It is a good poem.

It is. And I am learning an epic sounding piece in Orchestra. But I don't believe we will sound as good as the recording. D:
What do you play in orchestra?

2nd Violin, though our instructor says not to get too comfortable with our seats, so that means I can possibly switch between 1st and 2nd violin sections
