Life Too Short

Location

They say that life is too
short.
But I can't find any other
way of saying that I object, but...

"I object."

I detest
the negativity because we're
seemingly 
forced to digest 
the pessimistic bullshit
of the lost generation.

Why does one have to be
so young with a mind that's so
regretful and old?
We're told to be the best
that we can be,
but the negativity
produced by the lost
comes to play more than
the goodness our elders
have 
told
us.

It's like we put life on the fast
lane
and can't bother to analyze
our mistakes,
but once something goes
wrong
and it's too damn late,
we slow down, think about it,
then lift a finger 
to
emphasize the blame
on the lost...

The lost generation -
deliberately debilitating
young minds with a bullshit
notion
that stops us from progressing..

"Life is too short."

That's bullshit.
That's not a solution.
That ain't even philosophical.
It's a bullshit notion
that's running rampant.
It's worse than the most
ambitious serial killer.

To say that life is too short
is no different than putting
the time out
to distribute the poison
that ruined the notions
of the lost generation.

I object..
