A heart-wrenching but true reality
Where the distinctness between young and old is no longer seen
But rather, it seems that I am you and you are me
How can we expect to fulfill a God-driven mandate,
Create a generation that perpetuates the values and system of a biblical understanding, reverence and fear of God and His word
When the briberies of this world we hold closer than a babe nursing aptly at his mother's bosom
How can we build and advance, if we can't first deal with the root that is you and me?
Who have planted seeds of sin that so rampantly abide in the streets:
Teaching a young woman to sell her body for a moment of "pleasure" in exchange for a fast dollar;
Teaching a young man that having multiple partners makes him a "top dog" but the young ladies who were once his subjects of affection are now labelled with every degrading word in the dictionary
Since when was it OK for our youth to rob others of possessions in the naked light-
In exchange for what? A puff? A quick trip to the summit of Mount Everest?
Again I tell you- we are our generation and today's generation is we
They are reflection of what they see in you and me
I remember the days when we brought something not belonging to us,
Before we could muster a "plausible" explanation", a lash of saucepan in our head is what we would get
I remember the days when an afternoon lime consisted of a trip to the movies or a walk on the square
Now has been redefined by booze and unintelligent conversation!
Where do you think it all originated? With us! And now we must eradicate the plague we've allowed to persist
You and I, they and me have no choice but to see
We are today's generation and today's generation is we
Whatsoever we sow, that shall we reap sparingly
So why do complain when what we see is who we used to be or rather, refuse to not be
Why do we persist in failing to see just how much this generation is a reflection of you and me?
A heart-wrenching but true reality....
