Generation Gap
I've been reading a book called Generation Me. Great book, very interesting. Basically, it discusses, in detail, what makes the generation born 1980-2005 unique. More or less... we suck at life. But anyways, very informative, great facts, super statistics and all in all a very groovy read.
Here is a poem I've just started. It has a lot of revision to go but the basic idea is there...
1. World wars great depressions leave young minds
with big impressions shaping heart times
glued together with silly putty
held together with erector-sets
2. Magnetized to television sets
turn your radio dial to haunted
3. Little boys dreamed as they seemed frightened
war time conquerers and heros screamed
nothing is how it seems halloween
nothing is how it seems halloween
terrible wails and ghosts cry save me
4. They don't know where to go does it snow
in eyes of widowed mother's wide eyes
sly bastard children sing nursery
rhymes whispered into fairy filled ears
They stood erected in sun set skies
Blazon silhouettes tall testaments

Is this poem about the wars influence on children? That they shouldn't have to deal with all the horrible things broadcasted on T.V. and radio? Yet, they must, in order to survive in this day in age. They must grow up quckly, but shouldn't have to...
Anyway, I have been working quite hard too. I am now labeled as a blue collar worker. Next month I will be in college and working. How fun. Oh, and next weekend, I have to build my lizard a bigger tank. I will put a vid of him on my blog now...
