A Generation Euthanized

You had access to all the world’s resources, Over nature, you had sway; With newly acquired prosperity, You had your own way; Of green forests – industrial land acquisition; Of all good sense – contraception, Upon us, you have brought the apocalypse! You rode gas guzzling cars, Burned oil barrel after barrel; Didn’t care about the deadly smoke, For us you have slowly created hell, Unbridled explosion of population, Unhinged destruction of God’s creation; Soon we’ll be engulfed by an eternal solar eclipse! You were more interested in bombs and guns, Instead of educating your daughters and sons, The earth turned into a battered wreck, Not a single thought for our sake! Our time seems to be running out, Your reckless actions have filled us with doubt, If you had preserved the environment, You could have prevented our torment! You created a corrupt and broken system, Where status matters more than happiness, Where perception determines our lives, Where careers are limited by your narrow mindedness! Air filled with cancerous smoke, Oceans choked by unprocessed plastic, Drug abuse plaguing society, Education that kills, so bloody caustic! You have hung us out to bleed, On the barbed wire in your dried and shriveled lawn, You deeds shall forever be resented, Long after you’re dead and gone! Climate change and exhausted resources, Will end us soon, we are not surprised; The last suffers of human stupidity, A generation euthanized!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
