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

I realise that this may be a shock but,

'Happiness comes from within' is a lie and

'Money will make me happy'

So in thirty years I'll tell my children they are not the most important thing in my life

My employer will know that I have my priority straight because

Work

Is more important than family.

I tell you this

Once upon a time families stay together

But this is not true in my era, this is a quick fix society

Experts tell me thirty years from now i will be celebrating my 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 if we do not reverse it.
