Regeneration of a Nation

Why are we filled with so much anger and fueled by hate. We're scared of being the outkast, yet we all share a common fate. The future looks grimm cz today is build on past tragedies nobody want's to face. Can't sleep cz I have nightmares of a society morally disgraced.

Why are we filled with so much rage, fueling the violence in the air. Our children are bred with ruthlessness, plagued by disrespect and robbed any self worth all cause nobody really cares. My generation had the greatest heroes, the most inspiring role-models but we've become the worst teachers. Victory has defeated us. We've been corrupted by greed n lust. Now our kids are repeating us. Their misguided and ambitious, and that makes them dangerous! I want my son to read this, I want him to use this and better this, don't get caught up in this mess and have a better life that's bursting with success, these are my only wishes!

I remember picturing how we'd change the world, but that vision didn't look like this! Today's generation is destined for greatness, I can't wait till we embrace this, take our dreams and achieve greatness. I have 1 problem with dreams though, I don't see the point in sleep. I'm already trapped in a nightmarish reality, and it seems all the same to me; losing sleep and my sanity! This insomnia has robbed me of my dreams, and distorted my entire reality. No more friends left-behind or to the right of me. Just a small family standing in front of me! No point looking back on times already past me. Have no memory of a childhood, just a single memory of being a child lost to the hood.

But somehow I still believe in a better tomorrow. In my visions I see a change, a new youth building a new generation. A new generation instilled with the values and principles of old. One built on spirit, intent of heart and ideas born in truth. At peace in their souls, no need for remote controls n gaming consoles. Tomorrow we'll be stronger. Our sails filled with winds of change, headed in the right direction and driven by renewed purpose! But if my tomorrow never comes and I don't get to see that glorious day, I'll know in my heart that these words helped to keep the dream alive...
