The Lost Generation

We'll be the lost generation,
nothing more than a blink of an eye
nothing more than a moment in time
unless we make our mark,
unless we proove our worth.

We'll be the lost generation
we'll be no good for anything
we'll be no improvement
unless we change our ways
unless we turn ourselves around

We'll be the lost generation
we'll be no good for humanity
we'll be no good for eternity
unless we get our acts together
unless we combine our heads to become one

We'll be the lost generation
we'll leave nothing behind
we'll have nothing to proove
unless we have our voices heard
unless we stay true to our word


The author's comments:
This poem is something my generation really needs to see//hear. If we don't turn ourselves around, we probably will end up bringing this planet to its breaking point. We seriously need to get our acts together.
