LOST GENERATION

A palindrome reads the same backwards as forward.Not only this message reads the opposite,the meaning is the exact opposite.This message through a video was submitted in a contest by a 20 year old.The contest was titled "u@50" by AARP and it won the second place.Everyone,in the presentation was awestruck and broke into spontaneous applause.So simple and yet so brilliant.
PART OF LOST GENERATION BY JONATHAN REED.

I relaize this may be a shock but
"Happiness comes from within"
is a lie and
"Money will make me happy"
So in 30 years I will tell my children
They are the most important thing in my life
My employer will know that
I have priorities straight because
work
is more important than
family
I tell you this
once upon a time
Families stayed together
but this will not be true in my era
This is a quick fix society
Experts tell me.
30 years from now I will be celebrating the anniversary of                 
                                                                                             my divorce
I cannot concede that
I will live a country of my own making
In the future
Environmental destruction will be the norm
No longer can it be said that
My peers and I care about the earth
It will be evident that
My generation is apathetic and lethargic
It is foolish to presume that
there is hope.

And all of this will come true unless we choose to reverse it
