Children

I think a lot about my Generation

You can scream I wont go

You can laugh I wont go

We watch the children

play this fun game

For a moment

They are gone

But they appear again

Diferently then the way before

Whas is happening to them?

On and On

The kids learn

Some selfish things

And the girls

Can't put up with that

Love is real

Like the universe

And the space around us

You may go I won't go

You may leave I won't go

You may change But I wont though

On and On

We watch them play

What kind of education is this?

Learning is real

But they are all going the wrong way

They are going the wrong way...

I watch how my generation

Takes course to life

And I feel bad

Feel different

Is that even good?

On and On

All I see

Is them falling down

While I'm here with other people

Watching how they fall

Again and Again

The Boys learn

Some selfish thoughts

The girls instead

Cant put up with it

Learning is a basic thing

Who is going to be the captain of this world?

When my generation is slowly falling down...

Falling down......

Falling down.....

Falling down....

They'll hate what love does to them

But some will love the thing

They'll change for good

What is going to of them?

They will grow up to be like this

And I wonder

What is going to be about our world

When my generation

Is slowly falling down

Some will heal

Some will stay for dead

Some will give up

And some will be the liders

Of this world

On and on

Like a disaese

They spread

the selfish thought

To the boys

The girls in the other hand

Can't stand this mess up place

I prefer being alone

Then saying that I'm alright

But I'm just a spectator

From up above

And I'm following my dreams

While I watch

The others with nowhere to go

They don't have a dream

Nor something to believe in

They are blind

In the endless darkness the swallows them..

But who is going to be

The captain to bring this mess up world

Up to shore again?

When all I see

Is my generation

Falling down......

Falling down.......

Falling down........

Falling down.....

Your totally right about this piece! The generation of kids seem to be getting worse day by day. But most of the people just sit back and watch it all happen. But in my life, that's not going to happen. Great writing! Keep writing!

We learn some good things and some bad. Fall down, get back up, keep going

[Lizardo]

Thats the poing of life: Love, Learn and when we fall down, Get up again and like you said keep going

[willweb]

Some lessons are good ones and some are not so good. It was always considered the fault of the people you hung around...and maybe that is the truth, but it is sad how things have changed. Your poem is spot on my friend.

[Lizardo]

Thank you for your review willweb, thank you really.
And yes a lot of things have changed, well specially for me that I'm in another country and things seem... different here...
Anyways, again thank you for your review

[jacob erin-cilberto]

there is much selfishness in the world, children play...but later on they learn to not play nice---and affects all those around them...
causes their world and others to be "falling down/ falling down/ falling down."
the repetition at the end really works well in this piece.
And just your awareness of this speaks volumes for you as a poet.

[Lizardo]

Thank you so much Jacob, I really appreciete my friend

[Jimmy Yetts]

A decidedly melancholy poem with many legitimate perceptions.
One thing you can do, Lizardo, is live the kind of life that will inspire others of your generation.
From what I can see, you're off to a pretty good start.

[Lizardo]

Thank you so much Frankie, And I hope I will
