Pessimist Vs. Optimist Poem by Sujay Asukar

I am a 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'll tell my children,
They are not the 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 is a quick fix society,
Experts tell me,
Wedding,
30 years from now, I will be celebrating 10th anniversary of my,
Divorce,
I do not concede,
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.
