Generations


Be all you can be,

Succeed where we failed.

The indigo child,

Growing up in this world.

 

Understand the system,

Then create a new way.

The foreman are sleeping,

So go out and play.

 

The devils in the details,

So avoid too much school.

Work less and love more,

That's what we’re here to do.

 

If your compass is broke,

Then navigate.

Use the stars,

And a comets wake.

 

Be like water,

Bend and flow.

Read lots of books,

They will help you to grow.

 

Like a rosebud blooming,

Surrounded by weeds.

Be careful of thorns,

They make you bleed.

 

The internal is important,

Find your inner peace.

Meditate when you can,

It's a much needed release.

 

Find your quiet place,

And inspiration too.

For when hard times strike,

We'll be needing you.

 

The next generation,

We can only try.

Let’s teach them to live,

And not only to die.
