Dear Past Generations
Dear Past Generations,
Thank you
So much
For destroying the world
Your world
My world
OUR world
The one that humanity has spent all of existence to create
The one that you and me have had placed on our shoulders
The one that you were expected to fix
The problem is
You fixed all the wrong things
Your dreamed up "Tomorrowland"
Was a mistake
You forgot about ethics
You forgot about virtue
You forgot all the things your parents worked so hard to teach you
Where did the values they instilled in you go?
You built yourself a never ending cycle of crushed hopes and dreams
And we are responsible to break it
You say the world is in our hands now
That we are the hope for the future
Are we destined to end up like you?
Are we responsible for creating a better society
When you have taught us nothing but lies?
Are we not just as hopeless as you?
Forced to conform to a society that claims we support individuality
Yet we are forced to think a certain way
In fear of offending someone else
So on behalf of my generation
Thank You
For nothing
