Stinkweed Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Lately that's what things look like to me. Most people are concerned with their jobs, with their education. I wish I were as concerned about it as they are... Instead I am worried about stupid pointless dreams: things that in the future won't put any food on my table. I take a look at the world, there's war, hunger, over-population, pollution (global warming). And I just know what the media wants me to know, because there's probably so much more going on, and it's probably worse too. Perhaps we deserve it, because even though we say it was our "forefathers" who started this, it is the vast majority of us who live in the most wasteful way possible. We are the prodigal sons and daughters all of us. Well, enough... I don't usually write poetry, because I don't think I've very good at it, but I came up with this and thought I'd like to share: Beings of dust Wretched existence that of the dust beings They are so hedonistic by nature No idea what this behavior brings No idea that here, they've got no stature. But what is the root of these feelings? What makes them act in such a wasteful way? They should be considered less than phlegm Ask them why they do this - they've naught to say. It's my generation I talk about Being one of them makes me want to pout. I wrote this thinking about how the youth love to look up to criminals. Thinking about how the youth think sex is just done to gain a better reputation. Blah blah blah. I'm feeling awfully preachy today. But where have our morals gone to? Link to comment
AntiLove_SuperStar Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I think that's your age talking...it hits you in your late teens just what the world is really like, doesn't it? It's ok. You are unlucky enough to be intelligent enough to dwell upon it; but either you'll move on out of it OR you'll get so mad you'll devote your life to work that involves helping others.
