The Lost GenerationÂ

I am part of a lost generation
and i refuse to believe that
i can change the world

I realized this may be a shock but
“Happiness comes from within”
is a lie, and
“Money will make me happy”
So in 30 yrs 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 liturgic
It is foolish to presume that
There is hope

And all of this will come true unless we choose to reverse it.

A Kiss that’s never tasted is forever and ever wasted – From a song by Billie Holiday

If you don’t love too much, you don’t love enough. – Unknown

If someone asked me how many times have you gone through my mind I would only say once because you came into my mind and never left.

If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you’ve made me smile, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand.

It is better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all. – Alfred Lord Tennyson

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. – Aristotle

If there ever comes a day When we can’t be together, keep me in your heart, I’ll stay there forever. – Winnie the Pooh
Â
Any time not spent on love is wasted. – Torquato Tasso

Men want to be a woman’s first love. Women want to be a man’s last romance. – Oscar Wilde

At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet. – Plato
