Our Generation

Yesterday I was scrolling through my Facebook before bed, as most of us do, and I stumbled upon this 'work of art' that was done by an 8th grader named Jordan Nichols.

"Our generation will be known for nothing

Never will anybody say,

We were the peak of mankind.

That is wrong, the truth is

Our generation was a failure.

Thinking that

We actually succeeded

Is a waste. And we know

Living only for money and power

Is the way to go.

Being loving, respectful, and kind

Is a dumb thing to do.

Forgetting about that time,

Will not be easy, but we will try.

Changing our world for the better

Is something we never did.

Giving up

Was how we handled our problems.

Working hard

Was a joke.

We knew that

People thought we couldn't come back

That might be true,

Unless we turn things around"

(Read from bottom to top now)

BRAVO!!!! Very well written and a clever style of writing. My hat is off to this kid.
