Love

Love

A Poem by Baby Ricochet

what went wrong with my generation
we don,t know how to love
we can f**k we can fight
we think are views are right
but we dont love.
we use,we need, we exploit, we judge, we condemn, we call child services, we fight with the va over piddly crap.we f**k dumb girls that dont know any better.we smoke rock with 19 year old badgirls. but we dont love. love is stupid simple .a 4 year old does it better than most grown ups can. its like a barrel full of rain in the desert.its a shop full of pastry on christmas. its giving a buck to the crazy drunk.,its caring about people youve never met. its love.for f**k sake, lets do it

I have had a thousand people ask me why I left the life I had to move to Mexico. You have given a large part of the answer. At some point we come to the realization that we will never change anything, so we can only charge ourselves and live as best we can.

Thank you so much. I'd be honored. It was written in a moment of true clarity
People are hedonists, and make the mistake that Love is pleasure. It's not.

Your welcome
Perhaps the newest generation is chock-full of fucked-up people; as apathetic and discaring for everything save for their own lives. That may be why love is missing from everywhere.

It's gotta be
When we grow up love stops being simple. It becomes complicated. So we don't do it.

I don't think it's any particular generation's fault. it's just the nature of people to be a******s.. I mean selfish. the 'greatest generation' that fought ww2 seemed to have stable homes, yet found it perfectly acceptable to make blacks sit in the back of the bus. the hippie generation (and I was a hippie) tossed peace and love in the faces of the world, then abandoned it to become businessmen when they thought it expedient. the following generations are no different. we pick and choose who and what we love. mostly, it seems, we love ourselves.
