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.

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

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

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. :)

[Jesse Pruett]

Iv'e never seen the starving, but I seen a lot of parents not even pay atteantion.

[Dani The Unreviewed]

Unfortunately, that happens with too many. And parents find excuses so easily. Well, thank you for reading.

[Jesse Pruett]

some don't even worry about the excuses.

[Dani The Unreviewed]

Yeah, just like my own.

You've got a very strong message and so full of truth here. "i dare to ask, for one thing only. Don't hurt your children," Me and my brothers are going through a very hard time and just ask them this same thing, so their children don't have feel like this. Some people say it's impossible to not hurt your children because you either hurt by overprotecting them, telling them lies and making promises you won't keep or by leaving them to raise themselves. I see this too here in my little town, there's a lot of women who have 5 to 9 children just to get money from the government. Or there are the other kind who work all day long just to look like they have money and leave them with someone else, they miss all their children's great moments. My aunt missed her babies first steps because of this.
That's why I really like your poem, I hope that those who read it actually do as you ask. If parents took care of their children the world would be a better place. Thanks for sharing it.

[Dani The Unreviewed]

Yes, people will have to realise the actual weight of these words, just like you did, in order to think about it. Thank you for reading :)

[Max]

Awesome write, yeah we need eye openers such as this poem.
You expressed it so well.

[Dani The Unreviewed]

Thank you :)

[Max]

You are welcome :-D :-D

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree.
"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. "
Nice flow of thoughts leading the reader to the strong ending. I liked the above lines. Old wise Native American saying. "Grandparent, teach the children well. They are the future." Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

So true. Thank you :)

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome.

Children are the little angels that God sends on earth for reminding humanity its purpose of LOVE..
And when they are neglected and abused, it is a shame for the whole race..
Thanks for sharing such a thought provoking poem..! And yes it is indeed a poem and a well penned one..!
Felt it!

[Dani The Unreviewed]

Yes, you are right about that. I do not belive in god... But! if we are to look for some people who are the closest to being completely innocent, and pure, loveable then we need to look at kids. Thank you :)

[Jyoti_Ablaze]

You are welcome!

The format moves across the page quickly. So the reader picks-up speed as you go giving this piece the sense of intensity as you work your way to the end.

[Dani The Unreviewed]

That was what i tried. Thanks :)

[Joshua Carl Cruz]

Killed in this one. really cool. feels like there is hope throughout this. Among the concrete buildings, miracles dont exist I want to say didnt so it says maybe that same hope might be there for some other kid but its sa you didnt get that chance at hope or opportunity. idk. its thoughtful to say the vey least.

[Dani The Unreviewed]

Thank you very much :) tell me which one of your writes you want reviews on?

[Joshua Carl Cruz]

You know what Id stay away from most of it since it's complete b.s. but if I had to press your good nature I suppose one of the shorter ones. Whatever you pick feel free to rip it to shreds over grammer or punctuation or lack of content. I'd like you to feel free to express your honest opinion. Some people s**t bricks over criticism and some won't. I'm one of those so have at it bro. Thanks

[Dani The Unreviewed]

Ah yes, a real reader. You're a rare sight on the cafe, i'm happy to meet someone who gets the point of reviewing. :) thanks. I'll get to some of your stuff soon.

I admire strongly the tone that the poet inserts from his introduction till finish. you start having the feeling that something very important is about to follow. I love the imageries , diction and the free flow of activities through out poem. our kids go out of control because we dont give them the attention they need. our lust for wealth and other dreams drives our kids from us. Good choice of theme.

[Dani The Unreviewed]

Thank you very much :)
