I wrote a poem a few days back that I thought I'd post. In an odd sort of way, I'm kind of proud of it. In writing and posting it, I'm in no way trying to cast blame on anyone. I'm just thinking out loud. I wrote thi s after watching a movie which I hated. As I was watching it, this came to mind.
The Future
We love entertainment,
Sexual humor, incest, rape.
We love watching people
Get shot right on tape.
We are the young. We are the future.
Movie ratings are falling,
We're desensitized.
If you don't like killing,
You're not fully realized.
We are the young. We are the future.
We don't like waiting,
We don't like containment.
We'll take pornography
Over long-time commitment.
We are the young. We are the future.
We are good people,
No, really, we are.
We're youthful. We're healthy.
We're begging for more.
We are the young. We are the future.
What will the future look like?

Really, what else can a blog be about? Not much. This is the kind of title that gives me room to grow. I like that. Anyway. Expect more of my opinions and ideas to come...

wow what a poem. good, very good and deep to think about. makes you think.
I very astute observation, David, and it leaves it up to the reader to decide whether or not you are talking about this negatively or positively. In regards to my blog entry "September", I did know it was from the book 1984, but Josiah was the one who quoted it to me, so I used his name. But thank-you.

Remember, remember the fifth of November. Gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason why gunpowder, treason, should ever be forgot...
By the way remember to use my real email account. I made it for you to use. :)
