'Lost Generation' By Jonathan Reed
I am part of a lost generation
And I refuse to believe that
I can change the world
I realize this may be a shock but
Happiness comes from within.
is a lie, and
Money will make me happy.
So in 30 years I will tell my children
they are not the most important thing in my life
My employer will know that
I have my priorities straight because
work
is more important than
family
I tell you this
Once upon a time
Families stayed together
but this will not be true in my era
This is a quick fix society
Experts tell me
30 years from now, I will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of my divorce
I do not concede that
I will live in a country of my own making
In the future
Environmental destruction will be the norm
No longer can it be said that
My peers and I care about this earth
It will be evident that
My generation is apathetic and lethargic
It is foolish to presume that
There is hope.
And all of this will come true unless we choose to
REVERSE IT...
(the second part of the poem is identical only reversed)

'Lost Generation' written by Jonathan Reed is a PALINDROME.
A palindrome is a word or sentence that is the same spelled forward or backward. For example, take a look at the following sentence:
"Madam, I'm Adam". If you omit the punctuation, you can see that the letters spell the same thing forward and backward. There are lots of words that are palindromes including: dad, deified, kayak, mom, repaper, reviver, rotator, and radar.

The point is, you are in control of your reality, you always have the CHOICE to live in suffering or in bliss, the amount of energy and effort that you invest into altering your reality takes an equal amount of time and energy... its all in the CHOICES we (you make :)
Love & blessings,

This is an old myth, and easy to claim while eating cake.
When you have only dirt to eat and no grain see if your family loves you or hates you because they only have dirt to eat.

@odephraimchai Pessimist has nothing to do with it. If you do not work you do not eat! You would not be on youtube making Vids is you did not have money. Christians loves to ride the beast, claiming love is more important than making a living. But, I show my friend I love them by giving them the things they nedd to have a good life ,as well as the love I have for them. And if I was rich ,I would love my neighbours by creating work for them so they could give to their families. That is real love

@odephraimchai Hmmm... How is it that you so confidently presume to know about me and why I made this video. Its perfectly fine to share your opinions with complete strangers but please stop shoving it down my throat because I dont know you like that. What exactly are u going on about Christians? Real love? (Shrugs) I respect your opinions and all but I hv no clue what u are going on about.
PS: I ws born & raised in Africa and I know all about extreme poverty, I jst dnt dwell on it. Bye now!!
