Generation X

           

                       Generation X

 

Most are apolled when were called Generation X?  R we called
that because most of our young men & women having class X felonies on there backs















or even maybe most of us are rollin off X stayin breezy lookin 4 love n
all the wrong places. Cause moms & dads wanted 2 get high but









whats really sad is seeing how bad the younger kids have it no one
telling them 2 b home before the lights come on so the streets they
Roam










moms right along with the kids running the streets doing  whatever for
that next fix.




  dads serving a bid doing 2 to 6






so many kids having kids impregnated with dirty thoughts. xing out the thought they need school. 
a lost generation wanting to be everything but successful.  yet again we
plan to fail cause we failed to plan a future 4 them.  raisin more
follower less leaders all were doing is creating party Central






 building false hopes of making 2 the league or being the next video vixen
whatever happen 2 no TV till your homework's complete no u cant go out
with your friends that room ain't even clean!   what happen 2 sending kids home
before it got 2late whats sad is everyone grown turned there backs
allowing children 2 curse around us even knowing there kids are having sex
n there homes being friend & not parents









Seating
at the court house or the clinic asking yourself whatever happen 2 my child. 
not mention buying all the name brand clothes & shoes yet failing
every class but P.E don't know why they haven't left the home while Ur
at work there selling drugs out ur home wow this child's to bold now a
drug deal gone bad ur baby was gunned down now back 2 the beginning
when doctor announces its a boy or a girl way before this
new generation was xed out

Real world ain't pretty. Need to go back to the old ways. Two parent working together. Poor kids raising themselves can lead to the wrong places. Photos made the words come alive. Old world need to get back on track. A powerful poem that open the door to a big conversation.

Thoughts:
I like your combination of the letter x with the pictures to the reader a visual about what you're talking about. I'm not generation x, but this shows me what member of X went through growing up or still going through. This piece enables the next generation to understand more of what is like to grow up in those times of generation X.

This is such a great message. I am truly touched by this poem. I would suggest that you revisit it and fix some of the grammatical errors because i would hate for the reader to be preoccupied with those and miss your wonderful message.

I cant express how much i agree with this. It seems that every generation is lost in some way. I recently turned 19 so im not speaking as a 'parent' figure. What i have to say isnt bias and quite frankly i couldnt careless if ppl dont agree with what has to be said. Young persons these days...children are basically runnin a mock. I can't believe that some of the shows that young people are looking at. Everything is based on sex sex sex. It seems as if the media is saying that its okay for teenagers to be sexually active- ITS NOT! I dont really care who disagrees. Babies havin babies- thats not okay and people need to remember that. What happened to values and morales? What are the cultures of the world just losing all of that.
What happen to no sex before marriage? Who decided that the only way to say you love someone, the only way to build a relationship, the only way to prove you're a man/woman is through sex? This is such a lie and I wish people could see that. To love someone is to respect, mind , body and soul. Part of being mature is being able to have self control. I could go on and on but I would be ranting (i already am.lol) So once again, a great poem- something that i obviously feel very strongly about.
