Lost Generation

 ***Update: I noticed that blogger was breaking lines up so I have added / marks at the ends of lines. If there is not one at the end of the word, it is not actually a new line***

As I was surfing blogs I found the following post on another blog and wanted to share it.

1. Please read this poem, and be careful to read it one line at a time.

Lost Generation
'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 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/
Thirty 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./

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

2. Now read each line, starting from the last line to the first line (reverse it).
