This Generation
The violence, corruption, evil, and lust. Does it all really come from us?
Has it really gotten that bad? Have we all gone this mad?
We hear that there is nothing new under the sun. So let us remember where the corruption had first begun. It was Adam who wanted the fruit, it was he who lust so lets not blame all of the evil on us. It was 1914 who started the war, fighting for what, what were they really fighting for? In 1939 the battle began again, killing other human beings. O, but in that was there no sin? 1954, 1964, 1974 too, segregation ended, says who? white still fight the blacks, German still fight the French, North Korea fights the world, while Africa fights to live. What about the ones of the past, parents and grandparents our example. We see we copy and often times we ample. So when you see a teen doing wrong again do not say the teens of this generation are bad. Just remember all of the sinful, corrupt, and evil examples we have had. Not to say that we are right and there is justice in what we do, however we are only children followers so monkey see monkey do. They were supposed to train us, makes us more than what we are today. Instead they have left us, forsaken us, and led us astray. They were supposed to show us that there was more to life, more than discord, more than proverty, and more than strife. Instead they sit around and dwell on what could have been. And instead of waiting for them to figure out what they want, we debate in our minds on what wrong and right is. There is a difference between right and wrong and we know the concequence of what we do? But instead of correction and guidance you judge. What are we to do? Even though there is much wrong, that part is true, look at the good in all we do. It was said that we ample what was given as an example. So when we dream we dream big. When we fight we fight strong. And when we love we love hard!
