Forget my generation

I realize this sounds a touch harsh,

  but it is truthful.

The reason I say this is it is being passed along.

What am I going to get?

It is not what you earned.

You might have noticed,

  I am not happy.

Standing on this free standing box,

  I get to ramble along.

Might even make some sense.

Family is torn apart,

  all over garbage.

Don't listen to your parent's theme.

Ignore the elders.

Talk to each other.

I will step off of my soapbox

Each generation leave something. My parent left me war and bad days. I left the same for my children. Maybe the poem is true. New generation need to stand on new and better goals. I liked the thoughts and the ending. Thank you Jon for sharing the excellent poetry.

I prefer to think of them as rants, or rambles.
We choose what we leave. It doesn't matter what we were thinking. Thank you, Coyote.
