For my generation

It is a poem...i think. Thanks for reading.

I don't blame anyone,
I will spare the great words,
Yes, every single goddamned one,
In this world, some love's needed,
But most have only one, themselves

We were born wild,
The streets raised us,
No one looked after us,
Among the concrete buildings,
Miracles don't exist.

You never saw a single tear,
Or any fear in our eyes,
Even when there was,
You did not notice.

Instead of pity,
Spare your s****y words,
Fortune, for you it works,
All we needed was some love,
So we know what it feels like,
So we know we aint all alone,
But you gave none.
Thats how we became a cursed generation.

We don't ask for anythin,
Just some love,
A family,
A father,
A mother,
But we got nothin.
Thats how we became a cursed generation.

Nobody cared,
When we were scared,
From each other we expected comfort,
Nobody else was there,
Nobody will care,
Not many of us dare,
To say its not fair.

That is how we became a cursed generation.

Instead of your words,
Of pity,
And the s****y,
Dirty lies,
We ask for nothing,
But some care, some love.

I can not ask for anything,
But for my generation, and all those to come, i dare to ask, for one thing only.
Don't hurt your children,
Don't kill them,
Don't starve them,
Don't lie to them.

Put all that away,
Yeah, you hear right thats what i say,
In the name of generations, past, present, and to come,
I say, love your kids.

If you wont, then who will?

Author's Note

I've seen too much of kids being starved, kidnapped, killed, tortured, unloved, thrown away, out on the streets, i thought of writin a poem. Thanks for checking it out. Please, share your thoughts. Thank you.

the above quote is very powerful...i am an old lady, generation a grandmother to your generation...i believe the generations that follow are the future of the universe, i wish your generation had been treated with more respect and love...i have walked your concrete coulees and felt the loneliness abundant there...your writing is excellent...keep it up...jc

[Dani The Unreviewed]

Yes, each generation bring something new, and hopefully something useful. But for that, we all need to be treated right, given a chance. Thank you very much. :)

[sarah jane]

I am very fortunate to have never seen a child be starved, tortured, or killed like you describe. What country are you living in?

Very powerful writing well done! captured the anger and pain just right.

[Dani The Unreviewed]

i never seen it in "real life" but tha news poped up a few cases from all 'round Europe and the rest of the world... and i live in Hungary

[sarah jane]

oh right then.

[Dani The Unreviewed]

well, if i would see someone, anyone abusing kids... I'd go mad, and beat tha living hell out of them...or die trying. it's something, far worse than anything else.
i mean, abusing kids?! really?!! what did they do to deserve that?

[sarah jane]

No child should suffer ever. I agree with you. Too often I see neglect.
This world is full of fucked up people who inevitably mess up their children.
it's sad. You captured it well in your writing, well done.

[Dani The Unreviewed]

yea...I'm one of those who got messed up by "family " so it wasn't that hard. thank you again :)

[sarah jane]

I'm sorry to hear that!
I think family mess us all up in some way, but if it ever gets physical or abusive that's when it can become destructive and painful. I hope you can find some comfort in sharing your words.

[Dani The Unreviewed]

i do find comfort in that, and music, and friends on here. :)

[brianna vega]

love this -->We were born wild,
The streets raised us,
No one looked after us,
Among the concrete buildings,
Miracles don't exist.

[Dani The Unreviewed]

Thank you :)

[Dead]

I love this!!! It's great!!!

[Dani The Unreviewed]

I know it is. :) Thank you.

I believe you've summed up our generation, all the bad and the good. Such a powerful and raw piece of writing. Love is so imperative, especially for children. To grow up without it is crushing, you will search high and low to grab even a tiny bit of it.. anyway you can. Great write!

[Dani The Unreviewed]

yep...the world is suffering in love deficit.... thank you :)

[zunie frost]

[Dani The Unreviewed]

[zunie frost]

i like this alot danny. all of your words carried very powerful meanings, and i agree on your points made. great job on this one :)

[Dani The Unreviewed]

thank you very much

A powerful write, I liked this. And as a father myself now to a four year old, all I can say is that I really don't understand how anyone could NOT love their children, unconditionally! It's like a biological imperative. As soon as I became a father my whole outlook changed completely, I couldn't help it. I went from being completely reluctant to wanting to have anything to do with fatherhood at all, to loving my son so much that it hurt. And that love also extended in a way to all children. Although having said that I am sure that I will not be a perfect father, and I can only hope to not make too many mistakes along the way. I can understand, we are all slave's to our desires sometimes, but to be so negligent to your own (or anyone's) children I have trouble understanding!

[Dani The Unreviewed]

Well, i stopped trying to understand, because i can't understand hatred. It is, i believe nothing more than some mindless hate. As for why? i do not have the slightest idea.

[Nightfeather]

This poem carries a powerful message that this world must know. For many people are choosing to be ignorant of kids who have seen hell. They did not even have the chance to grow up as a normal kid, tormented by others like an 'adult'. All kids should have a chance to life like a kid, for many only wish to be loved. Is it so hard to care for someone? I still hope for a better future, for hope is not dead yet, so humanity is not either. I really like this poem.

Good job :D

[Dani The Unreviewed]

Well... I can't speak in the name of hope or humanity... Time will tell. Thank you very much :)

[Nightfeather]

No problem and you are right. Time will give us the answers if it feels that humanity will transcend from their current situation.

I agree that parents these days dont treat their children right. As a result they end up woth a disrespectful kid that will be just as spiteful as them. I wont be having any kids but this message just. Tha k you for writing this poem.

[Dani The Unreviewed]

I say... When a parent says that he or she will be a better mother or father, than his or her parent, that is very nice. But, the sad thing is... That some people have to do that, just to be a 'normal', acceptable parent.
