Faith in Humanity


Humanity has not fallen. The silly phrase I continue to speak though my peers won't agree. That the evolution of man doesn't stop here. We're not the victims of the news media the social sites, the local bites, the endless calories afforded from the lack of salaries, The salaries of those above on the corporate ladder They matter more than we want to think they supply the coffee we drink in the shops on every corner that give us the energy and power to waste away the hours to complain about the suppliers because they're liars. We're not the mindless faces glued to the TV sets and yet We see need to assimilate to what we see. The people we set as role models model the roles of the irresponsible mentality of drugs and parties And in actuality the spirituality that claims to save us from the reality that shows in reality shows is instead the same bigotry we've been overcoming for decades and decades the groups are different and the hate is the same. And the lame way we lol and rofl on the book of faces that clamp on to our minds as the most social of devices shuts us in, and desocializes us to our vices. The nicest thing today is putting down the phone and talking the night away. Our voices are weakened and hidden behind the strong booming voices of the men we trust with the failure we claim for our nation. Don't let this fool you we are not the lost generation. We are not the fools gold of the world. We are merely misguided with our youth. The truth is our lives will develop our knowledge will grow. "These kids have no future" That just ain't so.
