Today
I
see the best minds of my generation..
Strive
to “make a dolla out of 15 cents” and fight to keep their heads up because they
are good and believe in making a difference.
Settle
on Park Avenue in twenty-thousand square ft. apartments (they don’t tip the
people below) but never venture or visit the other side of Park Avenue because
they are “unable to bridge the gap,” or they are at meeting with important
people buying more control.
Who
have lost their identity due to the treacherous, tangled, diabolical,
demanding, unmerciful, unrelenting, web that has been woven.
Send
our kids off to war, and when the soldiers return, they are never quite the
same because of the horrors of war.
Who
negotiate instead of retaliate because of the belief in freedom, individual
expression and peace.
Who
stand up and have faith even when everyone has failed him or her.
Succumb to a drug that turns them into monsters and leaves them for dead and who are the poster child for what not to do.
Set
up plans to build bigger, better prisons that fill to the brim with patients
and criminals locked up with the former being released with a weeks’ worth of
meds and who doesn’t know how to maintain his or her illness and ends up
setting fire to a random family home or business because it is a fact that
there are aliens living there with evil plots that are a threat to the
communities safety.
Who
are without a mom, dad, sister, brother, friend, job, car, shoes, roof, or a
safe neighborhood.
Who
can sing, laugh, play, work, learn, love, and make wonderful wildflower bouquets.
I like this a lot.
