WE can reverse our ways and change the future, it does not have to be like this

I am part of a lost generation
and I refuse to believe that
I can change the world.
I realise 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 employers will know that
I have got 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.
