And all of this will come true unless we choose to reverse it.

I am part of a lost generation and I refuse to believe that I can change the world

I realize this may come as a shock but

“Happiness comes from within”

is a lie, and

“Money will make me happy”

So in 30 years I will tell my children

they are not the most important thing in my life

My employer will know that I have my priorities straight because

work

is more important than

family

I tell you this

Once upon a time

Families stayed together

but this will not be true in my era

this is a quick fix society

Experts tell me 30 years from now

I will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of my divorce

I do not concede that

I will live in a country of my own making

In the future Environmental destruction will be the norm

No longer can it be said that

My peers and I care about this earth

It will be evident that

My generation is apathetic and lethargic

It is foolish to presume that

There is hope
