I was on the Internet and found this poem and i thought it was so amazing that i needed to find a way to share it with others. Its called 'In My Generation'-
"They read in the papers and hear on the
air
Of stealing and killing and crime everywhere
They sigh and say as they
notice the trend,
'This young generation, when will it end? '
But can
they be sure that it's our fault alone,
That apart of the problem they
should claim as their own?
Are they less guilty who place in our way,
Objects and subjects that lead us astray?
Too much hating, not enough
love
Maybe we should give peace a little shove
Too much money and too much
idle time
Too many movies of passion and crime
Too many books not fit to
be read
Too much evil in what we hear said
Too many children encouraged to
roam
Too many parents who never stay home
We don't make the movies or
publish the books
We don't paint mean pictures of gangstas and
crooks
Drugs and alcohol, they trouble our brain
They're done by older
folk who are greedy for gain
Delinquent teenagers, oh how you condemn
The
sins of a nation and you blame it on them
By the laws of the blameless, the
savior made known~
Who shall cast the first stone?
For in so many
cases
It's sad but it's true
The title DELINQUENT fits older folk
too"
Once again i DO NOT own this, here is a link to the writers website
